Landhopper (Arcitalitrus Dorrieni)
I don't know whether this species was a relatively new arrival in my garden, but I certainly hadn't noticed it before I moved a large plant pot and several of them jumped or hopped in various different directions, much to my surprise.
Now I find them whenever I disturb damp leaf litter or the like, and I do my best to take care not to harm them.
Watch one in close up and read about them here:
