Hello. I've noticed these little guys and am unsure as to what they are. Some people say they are Springtails, some say they are scuttle flies, and some say they are mites. I myself am a bit squeamish when it comes to tiny insects and I also have awful eyesight so I'm not able to determine myself. I hope the video is okay for you all, I'm not sure what the quality will be because I am using mobile to upload it. But any help would be appreciated! The substrate is not moist throughout the whole enclosure, only around the water dish (some spills out.)

Also sorry for any weird background noise, I'm trying to hold my breath to make the camera steady and my boyfriend is yelling at video games in the background.
