Hi everyone I have these bugs that I noticed yesterday they seem to not be very interested in my plants as I have only seen them on the rim and outside of the pot as well as the tray under the pot but I just want to know what they are as I can not find any info on these bugs but if anyone knows what they and has some advice it would be much appreciated. Also the bugs are tiny but visible to the eye they are white and kind of look like spiders when they walk but I think they are too big to be spider mites. Here's some pics. These bugs are on the edge of a tiny square container and pics are magnified.

That's totally what they look like and I hope it is because they don't seem like they would be bad for my plants.

Another possibility is MOULD MITES a relative of the dust mite.
Also know as CHEESE MITES.
IME not harmful to plants but can easily do your head in.
I was experiencing them in my area.
If they really do your head in then I found 1/3 bleach to 2/3 water solution in a spray bottle and spray everywhere, walls, equipment, pots, they will be coming from somewhere where there are mould spores present.
The bleach solution kills MOULD spores.
