Found this bug roaming around in my loquat seedlings today while watering, can anyone identify him? 🫣 (sorry for the bad photo, he’s pretty small)

It looks like spring tail! They are harmless 😊

Looks like a nymph or larva of something. It's much too large to be a springtail (those are so tiny that most people struggle to get them in focus.) The head and legs strike me as some kind of beetle. Your best chance of getting a more exact ID would be to post it on Inaturalist

Whatever it is it’s creeeeepy.

Yes, it is! Luckily it has been dealt with 😂
