Looks like springtails. Nothing to worry about.Hey guys don't mean to hijack the thread but didn't want to create a new one just to ask this. This was the most recent place I saw this being discussed so rather than necro an old one ill ask here.
These bugs are in my worm bin since last feeding (I had just switched containers and fed a good amount of scraps).
Are these Hypoaspis Miles or some other mites I should be worried about?
