a few months ago i was taking a walk around a state park in southern PA.. think it was back in mid December... i found these weird bugs that almost look like moths (or even fleas) except they don't have wings there to small to be tussock moth and i found males and females, some of the females being gravid at the time of collecting.. i was surprised to find them active in the winter like they were (some were mating 
)
i found them in the cracks of tree bark.. that i thought was oak.
i sorta think these are snow fleas (Hypogastrura sp ?)
the largest i collected was about 1/4th of an inch long
i would try to get pics but these are to small to make an attempt lol
