Found these tiny little white guys in my living soil, plants are very healthy and no signs of damage, couldn’t find them anywhere other than the soil and sides of pots in my grow room. Not sure if will be able to tell from these shitty pics, best I could get. I am hoping they are beneficial and they kind of look like hypoaspis miles which I have had in my grow room before, but not 100% sure. Thanks for any help.

If they jump its simply springtails, harmless beneficial guys but idk baswd on those pictures.

Hypoaspis mile is a predatory mite, would see weird to have them in bagged soil but again a harmless beneficial. Tbh i would consider these as they will kill gnat larvae which are pretty harmless but any reducing of the adult flies would be a welcome relief :-)
