Pogonognathellus longicornis

Pogonognathellus longicornis (former names: Tomocerus longicornis or Podura longicornis) is a common species of Collembola. It is identified by the empodium's filament reaching beyond the claw of the foot. It is grey-brown with blue pigment on the femur.[1][2]
It is approximately 9 millimetres (0.35 in) long with long antennae that curl in an unusual spiral shape when touched.[3][4][5][6][7]
