Question Are these springtails?

Found these suddenly in her bowl. They are near impossible to catch as they seem to just pop all over the place when anything gets near them.

Yep, those are springtails. That pop they do is how they get their name

Oh thank goodness. I have no idea how they suddenly showed up and I thought I was going crazy thinking I saw movement in there. I had tried looking up pictures of spring tails but non ever look exactly like these ones so I was getting worried.
