Hello!
I am not familiar with these arthropods and I have never seen such a cryptic creature before. I found it walking among limestone rocks in Hungary. Its size was just a few mm. I vote for some kinds of
Entognatha perhaps
Collembola but to tell you the truth I haven't the vaguest idea at all. It seems to be completely blind I at least see nothing eye-liked thing. Much appreciate for any idea.

Hello!
I think it is a species of the family Tomoceridae (Collembola), maybe Pogonognathellus sp? I am not sure, I do not work on these animals:)
Regards!

Collembola - Tomoceridae - maybe a Tomocerus sp.

as I can see in the key... the features to split between Pogonognathellus , Tomocerus and Tomocerina are not possible with this photo.
I don't know which it can be among these 3..

I know well that in many cases it is not possible to ascertain even the family from photos. Thank you for your attention Jorge.
