    Just saw them crawling on the pots coming from the bottom holes.. they are pretty much plain and don’t have specs on their backs.. I’ll check tomorrow for the white specs on leaves but I’m pretty sure there isn’t!

    Just googled the hypoapsis mites and I think your guess is right! Natural predator of fungus gnats ! That seems good no?

    How big are these? When I had hypoaspis miles they were almost invisible to the human eye. Just a moving spec. I needed the scope our loup to get a clear view. There are mites that look similar to the hypoaspis miles.

    I have seen them in my soil a few times. I wonder if they are being added in production to try to reduce fungus gnats. Not very effective against an infestation imo.

    In general fast moving soil mites are beneficial. If the plants look fine don't stress. My worm bin is loaded with all sorts of bugs. Never had as issue.
