Anybody know what creepy crawlies is in my attar of roses pelargonium? Had them a few weeks ago, sprayed with soapy water. They died. This morning they were back. The plant is just a tiny little baby, I’m worried it’s something that’ll kill the plant.

Update: Thanks everyone! I’ve done a good round of Google -ing now on springtails. Definitely looks like the case . The plant doesn’t seem to mind, but I’ll keep in mind not to overwater the little baby . Thank you for your advise!

    Probably springtails. They are not harmful, but may indicate overwatering (unless the plant needs constantly wet soil). They eat fungi and float in water, which is cool.
