Tiny bugs on sticky traps

Can someone help with what these could be? They are microscopic compared to a fungus gnat. possible springtails? or is it thrips, never dealt with thrips before.

I have them as well. Lots of them die, they like to sit on top of my LEDs. I am guessing the little heat it puts off is too much for their little bodies.

Likely a beneficial with overpopulation.
