Dear Miriam, Most likely springtails (Collembola), possibly from the family Entomobryidae. Fun fact: springtails are not actually insects.
They feed on fungi, so the crawl space could be the source of the infestation. Op maandag 13 oktober 2025 om 18:55:24 UTC+2 schreef Miriam Murphy: > Can anyone tell me what these insects are?
