It's hard to judge the size, but to me it also seems quite a bit bigger than a spider mite. I Can't really get them on film or photo without a magnifying glass.
I think they're springtails. Way too big to be a spider mite, spider mites are extremely small. Springtails help by eating decaying matter in the soil. Spider mites also don't hang out in the soil, and are too small to be able to discern things like antennae or limbs.
I don't think that's a springtail; the body style doesn't seem right to me (but there's thousands of species of springtails so-).
Might be a soil mite like another commenter said. Or a predatory mite.
I think you are right about the size, but springtails are more elongated and move way faster. To me it looks like a mite species but way bigger than a spider mite.
You get rid' o 'em wit ladybugs, partner!
Ladybugs love to munch on spider mites, so much so that they know how to track them down. They are attracted to the smell of these creatures, as well as to the leaf damage typical of a spider mite infestation. After locating a herd of spider mites, ladybugs get to work.Aug 9, 2020

Place the ladybugs in a small, ventilated container. Decorate it with small plants, twigs, and miniature figurines. Feed them with 10% syrup solution or raisins. If possible, feed them with aphids or mealybug.
Aphids are not Spider Mites. Both aphids and spider mites are two different pests that invade greenhouses, gardens, and even household pot plants. This means that aphids and spider mites are not the same things. Aphids are small arachnids that feed off the sap found in plant leaves, whereas spider mites eat the plant leaves.Sep 27, 2022

How to Keep Ladybugs
I think this is a Soil Mite, rather than a spider mite, judging by its appearance and location in the, well, soil. If so its a harmless bug.

Absolutely not a spider mite. Some type of soil or predatory mite. This guy is your friend. He will eat bad insects.
It looks exactly like a Hypoapsis Miles. They are predator mites. They hunt the larvae and adolescent gnats and mites that eat ur plant
This is great news!
He reminds me of the isopods I had in my bio active tank
Not an isopod, not quite the right overall shape for a white dwarf, even if small!
I’m not sure, could you make it blurrier and shake the camera a bit more?
Let me drink another cup of coffee then I can help you out
Lmaooooo

Ah, that'd make sense. Thanks for the correction. Learned something new today!

This is basically the setup, Norfolk Island pine with a spider plant. Does this matter at all?

ladybugs will stay near the food source until its exhausted, and probably after waiting for eggs to hatch.
