no they are white/tan/clear in color..if that makes any sense. Spidermites go on the plant , and eat off it correct?...well these are stayin below the soil. And they were already in the bag of soil in bought, so how could sider mites be in soil without a plant growing in it...if these bugs are doin anything it has got to be to the roots....god help!!!!!!!!

Do they look like small pieces of rice? A white gray color? Could be soil mealy bugs.

No they are smaller than rice...the best color to describe them would be maybe translucent tan color??

Check out this site www.optimara.com/doctoroptimara/diagnosis/soilmealybugs.html
See if these bugs match your problem.
I know they are smaller than rice, rice was just giving a visual.

go to loews or home depot and get BUG Stop, mix it with water in spray bottle and give your plants a daily mist, this will kill and bugs on plant, or if you mix it with watering in soil.
