Its a type of springtail, which although they are not insects, they do belong to a related group.
Its most likely one of the globular springtails, but I wouldnt dare have a guess a the the species

springtails are insects aren't they? i thought they were in Class: Insecta - Sub-Class: Apterygota - Order: Collembola 
yes, it is a globular sprintail (and a very good photo of one!)
maybe (i don't know much about collembola) from Dicyrtomina? Possibly Dicyrtomina ornata?
what camera and lens are you using, out of interest?
