For the last 2 days we've seen these little guys on our basement floor, pretty much isolated to one area (about 8x8). We just had a heavy rain, and so there is a little moisture in the basement near the area where the floor hits the wall. I sparyed them with a soapy water mix (as suggested online), and most of them seemed to be at the seam (near the moisture). If you touch them, they jump, and you can see their size compared to a penny in the picture. I should also say that the one in the picture is a "big one." There are others that are about 1/2 that size, and not nearly as black. I guess they are the babies?
My best guess from internet research says a Springtail. But we do have (indoor) pets, could they be fleas? Termites?
Your help is GREATLY appreciated!
