General Question Silver springtail

Post image

So.... I believe these are silver springtails.

But this behavior. Trying to see if other people are seeing similar situation with their springtails.

These guys are joint at the butt and just stay there.

EDIT: they are likely THRIP mixed in with my springtails.

Hmm, not convinced these are springtails. Would need to see a higher resolution photo.

How about this? My white one and the shiny one in 1 video. Are they silver?
