Too bad you didn't take larger images, higher resolution. The small arthropods
are springtails. These aren't considered to be insects any longer, but are
hexapods. The "red ant looking insect" is a spider. I can't tell if a Steatoda
species of from a different family (not Theridiidae).

Hi Marna,
I think the tiny insects are springtails.

I often find them to be a little gray-blue in color.

Hi,
I found this large red ant looking insect today. It's redder than the picture
shows. I also found about 50 of these tiny flying insects in several traps. I
know the pictures are not great but hoping someone can identify them.
Thank you!!!
