Hard to see but they look like some sort of mite. Can you get a closeup. They may not be the bad mites, per se.

If they are aphids, you will see two little “tail pipes” sticking out the ass end. They look more like decomposing mites to me, but it’s hard to tell from the picture. :v:

It’s hard to look at something that small but if they apear more flat and spider like they are prob mites if they seem to stand up a little more like a microscopic grasshopper then prob aphids. The white mites are attracted to grain so if you put a slightly damp bag of grain near by and they move to it theres your answer.
Here is a picture of the aphid

Damn good look to the OP. Those things suck. I heard Suffoil x works on aphids. Not sure about a root drench.
