That rules out symphylans then, but not the other two. Springtails can be black and may be iridescent. But then thrips can be black too, including the one I mentioned above. The location is more suggestive of springtails than thrips, though. Good luck with the photo, it would certainly help.

So from your edit these things are less than 2-3 mm?
