Little White Bugs ?
I need help identifying the bugs in the following pictures....
These little white bugs have turned up in the two terrariums we have.
Size is hard to judge as the pics were taken with a few closeup filters to magnify the size for identification. They are actually less than a 1/16th of an inch long. Very tiny! For a size comparison the texture seen in the pixture of with the black background is the light texturing on a piece of plastic.

springtails do jump , but not too high from what I can remember.
I think thats what they are, many years ago (like 20) I had red efts, and the store I got them from said thats what they liked most and they actually somehow had propigated them and sold them for "eft food"
thats what they looked like.

They do jump.... it's like little tiny white things bouncing all over the place in there.
I thought of termites but they are all so tiny.
