Little Bugs Running In Soil

Some advice would be awsome, I got little tiny brownish to whitish depending but I think t hey are all the same type of bug, I first noticed today after watering you can see them crawling around and doing there thing. Does anyone know what they are or how to tell waht they are, i am thinking spider mites but I am not sure. Thanks

How do you know they were running?

maybe they were crawling
or jogging
can bugs jog?
if i was a bug id just roll around.

hahaha! Sorry no help, but that was funny m3atwad.

Oh "crawling around and doing there thing" yea bugs will do that.
I seen one tiny flyin bug looked like a nat. It went squish.

probably spiter mites...get some neem oil and spray on your plants on the top of leaves and bottoms too. It will kill the spider mites and there larvae on contact.

How old are these plants of yours. Some inferior soils come with these bugs, and they simply grow and move on. But sometimes the plants die! dun dun dun....

Good luck.
They look like this?

Ahh! Those are nasty lookin! Ew I hope I never get them.

well they are not hard to see in the dirt if y ou watch for them, i have never seen them climb up my plants though. Also I seen this really tiny white worm type thing flip floppin around, really tiny. maybe larvae of this insect? Aerachnid??

there 2 weeks and 3 days

yo those are the little white bugs that will come up when you water. I forget the name for them at the moment. I cant remember if they are harmless or if they eat your roots.

lmao
so the bugs either kill your plants or dont do a damn thing
haha thanks for clearing that up whereisdabud
ha im just playin
but yeah that sucks you should google that shit

Reviving this old thread. I'm have these same bugs I believe. I do not think they are spider mites because I've had them before and I treat my plants weekly sometimes bi-weekly with azamax for prevention. Also they crawl around on the soil right by the plant and do not go on it and mites do not live in soil they are usually under the leaves and making dead spots on the leaves. Anyway the azamax doesn't really seem to be effective on them.

I believe they are Springtails or whatever can anyone confirm this? If so I've read these are not harmful and in fact can be beneficial.

Thanks in advance.

If they are white and jump, theyre spring tails. You should google Root Aphids

I have googled root aphids before IDK if that is what they are or not. Also I have not seen them jump. They move pretty quick around in the soil though. Kind of brownish/white kind of look green under the HPS. Can see little antennas.

Bump

I have the same bugs. In soil. White to reddish brown. Two antennas. Crawls around quickly. Does not jump. Who can identify these things? please help!
