who are these bugs in my terrarium?

Apologies, they’re tiny and the picture isn’t the best. This week these guys popped up in my closed terrarium, seemingly out competing the folsomia candida population I had as cleanup crew. They’re on a potato in this picture, and they appear to hop around like springtails. Thanks in advance! I’m in SW USA, but I don’t think that matters.

What are these tiny brown bugs that are outcompeting my folsomia candida?

Sorry for the bad photo, they’re the brown bugs on the potato slice (bottom middle of the picture). this week my folsomia candida population in my closed terrarium crashed and these popped up instead! I’m afraid they could be killing my springtails.
