Jody,

Those images are of what appear to be a ground beetle (carabidae), a weevil (curculionidae), and many springtails (collembola), I anticipate that these creatures merely wandered in from outside. It is unlikely that they'd thrive or perpetuate in your facility, or pose damage to collections. But, it would be good to learn more about where they were sampled and the composition of any collections you have nearby.

Hello, 
I was wondering if I could get some help identifying a couple insects (images attached) and whether or not they are harmful/potentially harmful to collections. Thanks!
