Help Me Identify This Bug. Pictures

[Perception]

I noticed these teeny tiny bugs on my yellow paper, and have no idea what they are. I could only see their shape under microscope, and photos below are at 60x.

Organic soil.

Not even sure if they are anything to be concerned about or not. Thoughts? (The big fly is a fungus gnat)

They kinda look like spring tail larvae, but not white enough. They are the small black specks in last photo. They have little antenna.

Bump
Looks like a springtail but it's too small to say.

yeah, I hope so. Mostly just wanted to make sure that this wasn't some known parasitic bug! thanks

They look like Springtail bugs to me too.

They are in fact springtails. I haven't seen them until recent as far as crawling across the surface of my soil but sometimes you see them launch off. My hypoaspis [finally got that spelling] mites and springtails are always battling. And now my mite assasins have bloomed...

I get springtails coming out with my runoff. I hate seeing them, it creeps me out.

Fuck dude try digging in the soil. Fuckers jump in your eyes, ears, and nose. Lol. I guess when you have been attacked by a whole wall of camel crickets it doesn't bother u much...lol.

Camel crickets, I don't even want to know.

I remember reading that springtails were a sign of healthy organic soil, and that they were a good thing. Wish i could remember the source - I’ll post if I find it.

Thanks all!

You’re correct. They are a good bug.
