Thanks guys, I don't want to lose these eggs, so you guys have definitely cleared my mind. After that first post said springtails, I started pondering on it. I use to keep and breed dendrobates (poison dart/arrow frogs), and I fondly remember breeding springtails for the little buggers. These are so small but by my best visual identification I'm willing to bet they are springtails. I have never used vermiculite, always perilite but Lowe's started selling perilite that has fertilizer in it so I switched. thanks again guys, I'm now almost 100% pos. that's what these are.
thanks
Will Wohlers
