Insect#1

The Arctic springtail, also known as the snow flea, is a tiny six-legged insect that grows up to 1/3-inch long. Springtails lack wings and are named for their ability to jump when in danger. Their body color can be pale brown, white, purple or red and some have patterns. Springtails feed on organic waste on the tundra's forest floor. They survive the freezing temperatures by dehydrating into a small husk. Then when temperatures warm during the summer the springtails re-hydrate and continue activities including searching for food.
