Please let me know if you can tell what kind of bug this is. I have a plant that is infested with these little white bugs..doesn't seem to be hurting the plant but it does concern me. Thanks, Tim.

I believe this bug to be a juvenile springtail. Thanks for your input. Tim.

To be honest, they are so minute that I can't tell if they jump or not, they are fairly fast; I have only observed them in the CHC/Coir potting medium and have never seen them on the trees themselves. I usually see the most of them after a really good watering of the trees. Thanks, Tim.
