Any idea what these insects are!?

Hey guys so I just planted a couple Auto flowers using a coco/dr earth Fertilizer from a couple months ago. I had it stored inside a tote in my home but it seems some insects have found their way in. I'm not sure what they are, I came across a photo of neoseiulus fallacis and I believe they may be the same insects but I'm not completely positive. Any ideas? Inside of the same tote I did have a half empty bag of compost and FFOF if that helps. Thanks.

Hey 2afj2011 This is something I couldn't find on GWE! Got's to do myself a little research. Giving you a like.

It looks like you have soil mites. I'm not going to give you a link because all the f cking web sites flow with ads like Niagara falls.
 
Those are root aphids. Get rid of that soil. Don't let it touch anything. Seal it up and take it far away to dump or better yet burn it. Fumigate, disinfect and clean any and everything that has been near or in contact with it. You do not want this bug on or in anything you have. They are the worst. Once in your garden they are impossible to kill and they will kill your plants. You don't want them any where around. I have fought them for 4 years now and finally have gotten some control.They don't need two to make more. One can turn into a million in weeks. They are relentless. They crawl, fly and fall into plants. KILL THEM ALL as quick as you can and with no mercy.
 
They are horrible creatures. Insidious,relentless and very destructive. also, were they suck on the roots it never heals and this leads to root infections. these will also harm and kill the plant.
 
That sounds like nematodes desertdan. Root suckers. They make galls in roots. Beneficial nematodes in the soil is/are a great solution for gardens and potted plants and the like. Although, with the timeframe of growing weed, I don't know how well they would work.
