I've been seeing these tiny little bugs inside and outside my home in northern Virginia and was wondering what they are. These bus are tiny and you cannot even make out specific features ie. head without full zoom from a camera.

These are springtails (order Collembola); basically harmless nuisance pests.

Thanks a lot Flapdoodle, I was worried they be some type of termite. I would have never been able to figure that out on my own.
