Kitchen Bug - Willowsia nigromaculata
Buffalo, Erie County, New York, USA
July 6, 2009
Size: Very Small
This is a very small insect that I found in my kitchen and outside of my door. They do not fly and were very active at night. The size is smaller then a grain of rice. Any help in identifying is appreciated. Thank you.

Willowsia nigromaculata
One of the typical domestic springtails.
Completely harmless but can be annoying...
