Just found this insect around 2mm in the house. Seems to be able to jump. Hairs all over body and long antennae. Pics are through microscope.

It's a springtail, an arthropod in the order Collembola closely related to true insects. Ones like this one basically are nuisance pests that cause no real harm.
