Could they be springtails? Do you have a picture? (They might be too small for a picture idk)

I will try to get a pic right now but I just looked those exact things up as well and they look the most similar to what I’m seeing rn but yeah they are very tiny

If they’re springtails, you should keep them in there! They eat mold and decomposing stuff and are generally very helpful. Some people add them to their terrarium for this reason.

It does sound like springtails. And they are super beneficial to a terrarium.
