99% sure these are aphids

But I don’t know for certain

Looks like a spidermite to me but can't say for sure.

Doesn’t look like one too me but I’m only familiar with the two spotted spider mite.

I received a response from synchangel that this is fortunately a mold mite, so I’m satisfied. However I’ve been occasionally seeing aphids on a couple leaves in flower. Not huge populations, usually just on one or two leaves. So I’ve been trying to eliminate them.

I took that still shot from a video so it’s not too great quality, couldn’t post the video but it’s easier to see it moving around along with some nematodes squirming near it

If they are all on top of the soil, then they are probably detritivores, or predators. If they where leaf/sap eaters they would be on the plant, and root eaters would be down deeper. Looks like a detritivore, but the legs look shorter than the type in my worm bin.

Looks closer to a soil mite to me as well. If you have better pics you might get better responses.
