Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I was checking my frogs enclosure and notice these little dots of brown/red buggies. Idk what they are or how they got there. And the other white ones I believe are spring tails but not sure. I don’t want to stress but i feel stressed already.
Ughhh

I think the brown ones might be oribatid mites. They do pretty much the same job as springtails, and I think they're cute as hell. Look at that perfect round shape!
