I caught two tiny bugs ~0.7mm from my 2 inch calathea what are those? Spider mites? Which kind of it? Should I worry about it?

You can use insecticidal soap or neem oil to kill them. I would spray / wipe your plant down with water to start with and try to remove all of the bugs that you can see. Then use your insecticidal soap spray and apply it all over the plant, making sure to get the bottoms of the leaves as well.

It is a mite. But honestly looks more like an animal mite vs plant. But a pesticide spritz on the plants would probably give peace of mind

Second on it’s maybe an animal mite. I’m itchy after staring at this.

Thank you omg😱, I keep finding them around plants I thought they’re spider mites, probably they came in through the window. I’m gonna do whole room mites killing. Thank you
