# Nearly microscopic white bugs crawling on the tops of my pots and in…

_Publicado por Evil Plant Dad el 2023-12-24_

Nearly microscopic white bugs crawling on the tops of my pots and in my moss pole but not on my plants.

Wondering, is this too small to be mealy bugs? They’re almost too small for the eye to see.

I have been googling and can’t tell if it’s springtails, soil mites, mealy bugs or what

Those could also be aphids and white flies as well as mealy bugs.
