Megan,
Those are springtails (Collembola). They, too, thrive in moist and humid areas
and conditions. They won't cause any damage to you or your collections.
Dehumidify and vacuum. Not much else is necessary.

Thank you for the quick response! I had a suspicion they may be springtails,
but I couldn't be certain. I am looking into purchasing a dino-lite digital
microscope to make these identifications easier.
Thanks again!
