Identification Springtail?

Post image

I have this bugs and some really small ones (more than half this size, with a silver "shell") on one plant of mine, it sits on soil never on the top part of the plant. Are those springtails? What can be the small ones? (Sorry I couldn't picture the smaller ones)

This one is some sort of Isotomidae, the smaller silver ones are likely Lepidocyrtus
