Do you have a microscope or a jewelers loupe you could use to take some close up pics?

They look like springtail larvae but I'm not 100% sure.

I wonder how they made their way onto the sticky trap. Are these things able to move around OK in that glue?

I wonder if a pregnant fly got stuck and laid eggs. Odd.

Springtails 100% . I wonder if a fan is blowing them on there?
