Do you have a lot of them? Do they jump? It could be one of the collembola (springtails), especially if it's jumpy. They're usually found in moist humus-y soils--I'd look for a houseplant (although I've had them on the water surface of a scuzzy fish tank before). They're pretty harmless.

Google for pictures of mealybugs and see if they match, though when juvenile they don't look like much. If they are mealies you want to act fast. It can be hard to photograph small bugs, but if you can please do. If there are only a few, start with a qtip soaked in rubbing alcohol, it should instantly kill them. You'll probably find recommendations about spraying with diluted alcohol and/or soap mixtures. If you do try anything with soap make sure you use actual soap and not detergent (dish stuff like dawn is detergent not soap - note the word "soap" is probably not on the label). Use either "insecticidal soap" for horticultural purposes like that sold by safer or others, or REAL soap like castile or other kind that is actual soap [dr. broners peppermint, for example, but there are plenty of others as well]. Detergent CAN be somewhat effective - and many swear by using "dawn" - but it can also be detrimental and I wouldn't spray it on my plants. Daniel

I recommend using cold pressed neem oil, that was the ONLY stuff that irradicated these nasty insects that were destroying my plants. I got the best price from neem tree farms. It even gets insects that are in the soil as well. I can't praise that stuff highly enough. I had wasted money on other organic stuff like nematodes (did nothing) and using pyrethrins (ditto).

yep, really looks like termites.
