Hey! I’ve been fighting thrips for the plants in my office:(  
I have this prop bowl filled with moss and a couple of days ago it was full of these tiny black critters (I sprayed them with insecticide so I believe they’re all dead now).  
But I just wanted to confirm these are thrips? This is my first time dealing with them so I’d like to be able to identify them better 😅

Look more like gnats, harmless but annoying as all hell

That big one actually looks more like a springtail

Systemic Granules! It has been a life saver for me against mites and pests. Haven’t had an issue with anything since i found systemic granules. I highly recommend :)
