ok so they are very small, cluster, hate light and like the wet folds of a brown paper bag i threw in my vermicompost. It had my leftover vegetation from my bubblehash. Any ideas? 20200715_073957.jpg
My bin is indoors and I don't want them to be detrimental to be plants

I clicked on this thread the other day and thought "yup, look like ticks".

Then yesterday I found one of these buggers on my plants. I smooshed it, and its body felt softer than a tick. I know ticks like to climb plants to make it easier to latch onto a host. Not sure if its a tick or something different?

These are def not hypoaspis mites. Those things are tiny and look different--like mites.

Anyone have any idea what these bugs are?
