Found on some hoyas living in milsbo cabinet (with fans, ~70% RH). I’ve had the plants for ~6 months. Haven’t gotten around to spraying neem on it since about 3 months ago. They are in chunky aroid mix

wipe that b*tch down with alcohol, do the same in 3-5 days, maybe once again, that’s what I’d do. they look a bit like spider mites but they’re too big, they look like thrips larvae except the shape like someone said, so I’m not totally sure….could be baby aphids? I’ve only ever had them on outdoor plants but they can look quite like this. Don’t let them mature, whatever they are…

I think they look like mites but don’t know if they are spider mites if there’s no webbing and no visible damage. There are predatory mite species that would crawl up on the leaves to hunt and mites which consume fungus and debris in soil that might end up on leaves.
