They are probably Dorypteryx domestica, a species that has been turning up
more frequently in European museums in recent years, and is known from the
United States.
It is not clear whether they cause much damage to objects or simply graze on
mould in damp areas.

Hello,
We have found several of these small insects in different traps located in
our museum storage. We think that they might be book lice. Theyre also very
tiny. We would really appreciate some help in identifying them.
Thanks in advance,
