Looks like Springtails. Search it on Google and see if it looks like the ones you have... good news is that they are supposed to be harmless but I would be so scared too to have them inside my house 😱😨😰

Like the comment on top said, they are probably springtails, and kinda ur best friend in the plant world as they are great decomposes

Oh thanks guys, so I’ll just leave them then? 😳

If they jump when disturbed, they’re probably springtails, I’ve had them as well and just left them in my soil because they eat pests. The only other thing I can think of is mealy bugs, but those are usually bigger.

I won’t try and see if they jump 😬 but I’ll just leave them for now
