I counted 8 legs, I'd say its a mite of some sort, what one is the question, I do not think this is a spidermite, off coloration and its not on the plant but in the soil and that plastic nub. Might just be a basic soil mite and none problematic. The ones that infest plants and kill them tend to be on the leaves and make webs when population gets to high. If your concerned then I agree with Steves response in using something with pyrethrine I also agree with Ezzjaybruhs conclusion they are not aphids. Aphids they not to be that small and not that mobile, again they like the leaves and stems. There is something called root aphids but this is not that either. You have a few other questionable pics in the diary of egg like things on leaves. I think you should douse the medium with something to help control the population even though it won't wipe it out fully. Also pluck off some of the leaves with said eggs and place it in a jar with a lid to see what hatches out of them. you can give your plant a shower and use water to blast off off of the fuckers, but give it a good shake down and dry off to avoid moulds from growing in the buds as High Humidity is the devil in flower. Good Luck!

Not aphids or mites at all, but some sort of beetle.

Don’t think that’s aphids, dealt extensively with aphids and they rarely move, they’re rarely on the tops of leaves, they don’t really look like that either. Beyond that - not sure, just adding my 2 cents to combat the misinformation some seem to answer with just to win a competition

Look like Aphids You can use a wet paper towel to wipe the aphids into a bag or trash can You can also take the plant outside and hose it down with water to push them somewhere outside And ladybugs also

if not larva based, go get a concentrated 'pyrethrine' pesticide. it breaks down in 72h. kills on contact. don't use any pesticides on flower, including this one. in america, southern ag is a common brand. buy some 8oz bottle and can mix up gallons worth. the pre-mixed / pre-diluted stuff is an absolute waste of money. need a few spray bottles. don't use other things in the pyrethrin bottle... e.g. foliar sprays should not be intermixed. even if you clean well, it is best to avoid such things. just buy a few cheap spray bottles and label them.
