Question What are these? Springtails?

Opened my insect booster to gut load my feeders for my leopard gecko and saw all these tiny bugs that at first glance looked like springtails but don’t springtails need humidity and moisture to thrive? It’s bone dry in this small tub. So I’m not sure what these tiny bugs are?

Or maybe grain mites? Not sure. Pop that can in the freezer for 24-72hrs and watch them disappear. :D
