Found these crawling around my soil top mulch layer after I started watering. Don't see them on the plants at all.

Not one I've seen brother. Check our other forum as there's some really good bug identifiers over there. Probably get a quick answer.

I would guess a type of springtail since they're in the soil and get more active after watering. Minute pirate bugs would be mostly on the plants. Grab one and if it bites you it's a pirate bug.

After checking google images for "springtail", i think you nailed it.

Definitely not as catchy as Fred.

So apparently they are too big to be springtails.

Some are bigger than others . If they jump when you mess with them they're springtails.

@Kamau42 successfully called it, jumping springtails! Jumped right up onto a sticky trap. Feel bad capturing it now.
