So I am in soil. Feed every 4 days with teas. I put sticky traps down on top of my soil two days ago because I usually end up with a small amount of gnats or whatever you call them (bugs from hell) at the end of grow. But it's just a nuisance, not a concern. I noticed my traps were darker looking but I thought it was just dirt from the soil blown on them. After further inspection with a x64 I found these little critters. Can someone please tell me what they are? & if or how I need to get rid of them. Don't see them on my leaves. Just the soil. & don't see any ill effects on the leaves. YET. IMG_1737.JPG IMG_1736.JPG

They're springtails. Pretty harmless really, they live in moist environments just like fungus gnats.
