I got bought a few bags of mulch from lowes for my enclosure and I started noticing these very tiny white bugs. They're about the size of a speck. They seem to come out when the lights turn off.
They are real hard to get a good pic of. I tried to upload a video but keep getting an error.
So any advice on what these are and if there harmless or if I should clean out everything.
The first time I had flying bugs now i have crawlers... ugh

Springtails. Harmless detrivores. They clean up the rotting vegetation in your enclosure. They come from the surrounding environment and colonize the warm damp substrate that we provide for them. I just ignore them.
