I have foubd an infestation of a type of bug ive never seen before. Any ideas on what it can be?

They are approximately 0.2mm small, very tiny. I took a picture of a gnat to show the size.

At first I just thought they were dust particles. Upon further inspection they appear to be some sort of small insect.

Here is about 1.5weeks of catching them. 20230910_193218.jpg

Here is a size comparison to a fungas gnat:

Those are springtails, some tiny variety.
Look smaller than snow fleas, a tiny springtail.
