Is it really tiny? Are you in soil? Hard to tell from the pic, but it might be mites. There are beneficial predatory mites too, so if it's those thats good. I have them in my soil now.

Oh well then they aren't those. They stay in and around the soil. Sorry, but they don't sound good then. Hopefully someone else can chime in with more knowledge.

This one looks kinda like the pic of a root aphid I just saw here.

You may want to order some of those beneficial mites off that site if your trying to do all organic. They will seek out and destroy predators. They are in my soil that I've been using for 10 months and haven't seen one bug besides those little guys. I didn't buy any, but I give them EWC so I get a lot of beneficials out of that. I don't know if they can take care of your problem if it's too bad, but they are an option. Good luck.

Holy shit I just saw they charge $75 for shipping. Never mind. EWC are cheap, but will take longer to build up a decent population of em. So now I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you can find em cheaper off another site.
