They look like root aphids to me... and you need to get rid of them if that's what they are. This article might help you identify them because, as ernesttwwg said, it's hard to tell from the photos you've given us... https://www.trifectanatural.com/problem-identifier/how-to-kill-root-aphids/ - and will also give you several ways to treat them if they are indeed root aphids!
Good luck...

I can't zoom in close enough to count how many legs they have.
Basically, if it has 8 legs, it's probably dirt/soil mites. They are harmless and no need to worry.
If they have 6 legs, they might be root aphids. These little buggers need to die because they eat the roots of your plant.
Diatomaceous earth will tear them up, cut them to ribbons, and take care of the problem.
I hope this helps.

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

Springtails in Waste water CoCoHi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo).
I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.

What are these bugs?Just discovered these little black bugs. I don't think they're flying. They're mostly on the soil. Some were on the stalk but they don't seem to be on the leaves and buds. I'm growing indoors in organic soil. Not sure if these are a problem or if they'll regulate themselves.

What are these bugs?What are these bugs? I'm not sure if they're thrips or not. The plant is indoors in soil. They've just shown up in the last few days. They're not crawling all over the plants, mostly down at the soil level. I did see a couple on the stalk but they're not up in the leaves/buds.

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?

Help identify pestsNeed help identifying these bugs. I found them under rockwool cubes in the cloner
They seem to like the moisture and were not bothering the vegetation at all. I even found them under a few cubes with no cuts in them. Is it possible that they are fungus nat larvae?

Pest control looks like fungus gnats and larvaeEver since this grow i noticed fungus gnats flying around. I always put sticky traps down and would catch an adult every so often but always saw tons of little dots I thought was dust or fabric until I used my scope. I bought a product gnatrol and will try it. any suggestions
