What the hell are these

Just noticed my squash plants covered with these. Tomatoes right next to em dont really have em tho. But I have plants near and dont want to risk if these bugs are bad ill burn em all

I just looked up spider mites on Google. Those pictures are similar to what you are showing in your pictures. I'm not sure but you might want to google it yourself and see. I have never seen any myself so I am not certain.

Second pic looks like aphids to me I get them on my chilli plants
1st pic has some kind of looking kind of white fly but thats a bit hard to tell
Do you have ants n or near the squash?

Ive looked again i am positive the sevond pic is aphids if so there should be ants nearby i would think as they contribute to aphid infestations by feeding off the shit left by aphids

I'd second Ruby on the aphids. Release ladybugs in your garden.

If no ladybugs a gd soap,chilli and water spray will kill the aphids

First pic looks like springtails or something of the sort?? If your soil gets a good drenching sometimes the composters will seek higher ground. I agree with the above, 2nd pic looks like aphids.
