It appears to be a species of Heterolepisma, probably H. highlandi which I have collected several times around, but not within the ACT. Please note that the genus name is likely to change within the next few months due to molecular studies of some South American Heterolepisma species.

Heterolepisma sp. (genus)

This is a jumping bristletail. It probably belongs to the family Meinertellidae but this ancient insect group has been very poorly studied in Australia.
