I would have begun searching under Springtails, given the size, coloration and body forms. Those are also related to fungi in deteriorated plant debris and not directly harmful to collections - although are usually around in numbers great enough to sustain damaging carpet and furniture beetle larvae. Richard- can you please describe what lead you to conclude thrips rather than springtails? Thanks, Dale Kronkright Head of Conservation Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Santa Fe, NM
