Can you tell if these are root aphids?

Crappy phone camera, these guys are tiny either way. Right click the picture and choose "open in new tab" so you can zoom in. Was reading this and thought maybe

Thanks

can't tell. root aphids have wings that stand straight up at rest; fungus gnats lay back flat. Also root aphids wings are twice the length of their body where gnat wings are exactly the length of their bodies.....

The one's without wings, I believe they're juveniles

Any chance the thread can be deleted or closed? All done, thanks

Thanks, lol they are tiny little specs

No, it's not a root aphid.

You would see tiny fliers around first. They buzz about the soil surface...
Then your plant starts to look like you have a nutrient/pH issue.

Cool thank you

a root aphid example:

Most likely Fungus knat's,put the card sticky strips around the base of the pot try and cover the top if possible,and you will catch them has they hatch,Dry the Medium out after every water even if it means the plant wilting a little this will rid the soil of them
