Insect for ID, New Forest(UK), 02.06.21 (1 Viewer)

Sat under a birch to avoid getting too wet. In addition to a variety of weevils, which I managed to photograph OK, I got a poor pic of a small insect moving up my camera bag. These spikey ones usually turn out to be aphids but I've no idea on this one.

Thanks

I've seen a few springtails recently but they aren't the easiest to ID. This one looks like Entomobrya intermedia or a close relative. It's one of the larger species.
