Hello,
Not sure what species but it is thrips. They are plant feeders. I am pretty 
sure they are not a threat for you.

Subject: [PestList] ID Help for tiny bug found crawling on scroll

Dear all,

Our conservator found this tiny (less than a mm) bug moving around on a 
Japanese scroll that was receiving some conservation work. Our conservator 
described it as being jumpy and pretty quick moving. I am thinking it is a 
Springtail based on the jumping, size and more pointed tail, but not positive 
as I do not believe they are known to inhabit paper. I also was thinking it was 
maybe a booklouse but the tail looks too pointed to be one, again not positive 
though. Any thoughts on what it could be and potential next steps to take would 
be greatly appreciated!

All the best,
Everette Adams
