Default Question about bugs on my chili pepper plant


"mmg" wrote in message
...

Hi guys, new here, 1st post, really enjoy my edible gardening at home,
but have something ive never seen before, I have jalapeno chilis
growing in a large pot outside in the garden, and this morning I
noticed when I was watering them that there were literally
hundreds/thousands of tiny bugs in the compost, as the water was
running through the compost, the bugs were jumping all over the water,
Ive never seen them before, and if I was to take a picture, you wouldnt
even see them! They are about the size of a comma on your screen right
now ( , ) actual size

Anyone any idea what they are/could be, are they harmful to my
plant/garden in general, or are they beneficial.

Any help is appreciated, i`ve never seen them before

Cheers
