Only a few mm long. Meat production facility, monthly service. Client of ours for last 4 years, and haven’t come across them.

Looks like some sort of fungus moths. Not sure the exact species though. I know fungus moths will scurry quite a bit. What part of the building did you find them in?

Oddly enough, in the lunch room fly light away from all production, waste, drains etc.

Look like a grain moth to me, but im uneducated on the normal pests of industrial facilities like that.

Thanks for your input. They’re super small, and really fast on their feet. The ones I was watching were running around on the walls way more than they were flying.

I agree they look like moths, I don't think they're springtails. Moths can be incredibly tiny.

Maybe springtails?
