They appear to be arthropods. You should probably get rid of them.

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-09-08

The video on the left is probably soil mites and the one on the right is probably a springtail.

The one on the right definitely looks like springtails. They’re a healthy bug to have. They’ll eat the mold and dead stuff. I don’t know what the others are.

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-09-08

Try to scare the arthropod in the right video, to see if jumps or not. If it doesn't jump, then it might be a booklouse. Of course if it jumps on you or your pet dog or cat or whatever, and starts sucking out all your/their blood, then it could be a flea.

Definitely isn’t a flea

🩸🩸🩸

The 1 in the right video is a springtail I believe. I've got some in my pots \& they seem harmless so far. As for the ones in the left video, I haven't seen those before sorry. Prob best to get rid of them if u don't know what they are

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-09-08

I thought they were these but I took the plant out and washed all the old soil away and then sat there looking at the new soil for 5 😂

Lol 😂 , yeh that's sounds like something I'd do too. It can be freaky sometimes when u find bugs in ur pot plants that you're not used to \& not sure what they are. The joys of gardening.... lol

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-09-09

It worse cus you can’t even get a decent picture of them! 😂

🤮🤮🤮

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-09-10

Did you get rid of them? What method are you trying?

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-09-10

I washed the plant and repotted in fresh mix
