These are...
Ectopsocopsis cryptomeriae (Ectopsocidae). You can see the recessed area on the dorsal surface of the abdomen. There is a very intricate structure there which is unique to this species.Leaf litter is their favorite habitat.

It is nice to be able to get it to species, I hadn't thought that possible! Too bad it is apparently an exotic.
