I've just checked again with the microscope compared with the pics on the site and they look like the sminthurinus aureus as Agentpothead suggested. Same colors, same shape and darker than the bourletiella arvalis. I think that might be it!

They're actually launching themselves with a spring loaded appendage that locks into place under the abdomen. When a springtail is disturbed or threatened the appendage is released and the springtail "jumps". They come in many shapes, sizes, and colors.
