Noticed the ladies weren’t doing to do good. Went grab the microscope and started inspecting. Noticed a cluster of jumping insects in my saucer. Kinda looks like springtails but I have zero experience with them.

Can anyone identify what these are?

If they jump from a springy thing on their abdomen they are indeed harmless springtails.
