Thanks!

I am NOT an expert. They look similar to termite nymphs.

Thank What is that substrate and where did it come from?

I have no idea what this is but to be safe switch your substrate. Recommend paper towels.

Springtails. Great little bugs if you're running a bioactive setup. Completely harmless, actually beneficial.

Cool little bugs. I had some show up once. I had overlooked some feces that was camouflaged with some of the decor. When I noticed the bugs I saw a tiny bit of the remains of feces that they had broken down and were still working on.
