What are these tiny things on my yellow sticky traps?

pretty new grower here. these things are pretty tiny, like the size of dust. but i don't know what they are.
grow setup is 2'x2'x3' LED, 4 females 12"-18", day 30 of flower

any help?

just watered and put some new yellow cards down. i've found this on ones previous but i finally decided to take a close up pic.

i've found a few pollen sacs (not many though. 2 on 2 plants and one on another) but i think i may have seen this before it was really flowering.

is it little fungus gnat eggs or something? those fuckers are pretty under control right now, but they are around.

or is it just natural stuff on the plants?

Almost looks like springtails. I have the same problem. They live in the wood where moisture has been trapped. If u see hundred there are really millions. Only way to get rid of them is dry heat. No bug spray kills them. They thrive on moisture

hmm, i only see them on the yellow cards and not on all of them. and only on the top of the yellow cards. ( i have them on the perlite that is covering the soil.) and since i've noticed it, there hasn't been any more.

i managed to stack two jewelers loops and take a pic. still can't really tell what it is. does it still look like springtails?

here is the pic of the tent, also

I was going to say springtails I had them before... when you water the plants they jump around everywhere on top of the soil/coco. I hurd there benifacial not much to worry about as long as you don't get to many. Keep putting traps
 
Yes they are Springtails and they are definitely beneficial. You really can't have too many of them. Yellow sticky traps are typically only good for fungus gnats, and then it needs to be up more vertically I think., or at least that would be a better solution for the springtails.
 
I was using coco plus professional for couple of years and I always use to get them.. I was wondering if the put them in the coco bags as they are beneficial
