I found some strange bugs crawling around my African violets soil. It was so small I could hardly tell what it was or get a picture of it (they were smaller than a flea). They looked kind of brown / white but I can’t for the life of me, figure out what they were. Anyone have any ideas on what it might be?

They are more than likely springtails and they are completely harmless. Maybe google springtail and see if that is what you got

Usually letting the soil get extremely dry makes them want to vacate
