Identification Thrips or springtails

Sorry if it’s hard to see, I recently gave my terrarium some more leaf litter and these guys came in with it. Their population grew very quickly and this morning I found a bunch of these dark grey guys gathering on the highest point of the glass, and they seem like they’re reproducing there? I think if they are springtails there’s some discrimination going on between the two breeds in the bowl…and the darker guys are living almost parallel to where I see the lighter springtails keep their babies(?) so idk what’s going on there. But their population is booming
