These two specks are definitely crawling. My Google powers say aphids? Does that look right to you all? They’re very small, thin but long.

The black specks on the pot? They could be thrips

Yikes I feel like that’s scarier than aphids. Yes those thin long specks on my pot (there was 4 I spotted on the bottoms of leaves too) I sprayed it with insecticide and then completely washed away the soil and now it’s a PON plant. 🤞🏻 fingers crossed that’s the end of it. 🤞🏻

Took the corms just in case

Sounds like you got it! I’d also spray other plants nearby just to be safe, but they might not need a full repot like this plant. I hope that’s the end of it!

Nice alocasia

I thought springtails, but if you mean the black things on the pot me thinks thrips
