Came across tons of these living in the table above the rez. They're on the roots and in the tray, but there hasn't been any noticeable plant damage yet.
The pictures are magnified under a 30X loupe. They appear to have 8 legs, so we're thinking the hypoaspis miles (predatory mites). Are there any mites that may attack roots (not root aphids) or do other damage? Really hoping these are beneficial, but I have no idea where they would have come from. HAYLP!
