This Mazar seed popped up and I gave it a little help removing the seed shell to let the cotyledons separate. I was checking it out with a 60x loop when I spotted something deep inside. I stuck her under a cheap USB microscope and found these. Mites? I used a hair from a paintbrush to remove them. I checked it again today a did not see any others. Only the 2.

Kinda hard to tell the video I thought aphids but the pics look sorta like mites. I'd recommend captains jack spinosad and/or some insecticidal soap both products have helped me more then once :pass:
 
Havent been able to see the video, so i have to ask... How fast do they move? Aphids are slow, soil mites (or beneficial mites in general) and sprintails are fast.
