What can these itty-bitty bugs be? Will they eat my house?

Question

I couldn't find anything on the net that looks similar.

They are very tiny (smaller than even those little brown ants), tan in color, and thier heads are big compared to the rest of the body.

I have been seeing them lately near the faucet in my kitchen.

Anyone have any guesses what they could be?

Sound familiar?

Answer 1

OMG

I KNOW!! i found them in my macaroni box even before it was opened. they have ugly bigish heads and kinda medium ish body. It may be the same ones. They hide in the back of the cupboard and under the sink. Idk . I know that my brother gave me a name . they are quite harmless if your talking about the same ones. But you definitally dont want to eat them. Wont be a very pleasant Breakfast if you find one bathing on the butter in your toast..

Answer 2

springtails...they will accumulate around moist / humid areas. They will be originating from the outside, but if there is any moisture inside they can multiply quickly
