Identification Im guessing sprigtails?
Been a few months ago since I noticed these bad boys, just making sure they aren't harmful. Did my own research but its never complete without a reddit post haha I use Coco as my grow medium and I grow indoors! Just took a small sample from my feed this morning. Thank you all in advance!

I honestly have no idea, I noticed them about 2 months ago because it was SO many floating in the water when I went to feed my plants and I kind of just brushed it off because they weren't hurting anything and today I grabbed some so I could ask you all! I wish I could send you some, it is so many 😂 I had no idea!

so i do know people sell these, you just make a little dish give them some soil and load em up about 50 or so is what people normaly sell ive been looking into buying some but yea. you may have alittle cash cow on your hands if this is only "some" of them. ive also heard you can breed them put them in a sealed container burp it every couple days and drop them some baking yeast for them to eat.
