Something in my pet water bowl!! please help identifying

Hello guys, I saw this thing floating on the water bowl, I'm not sure what it is. At first I thought it was just a bubble but the movement is not! If somebody know about this thing please help. Is it a mite?

They are springtails. Harmless. Actually, beneficial.

Oh! ok, thank you very much for your help replying. I thought it was a wood mite. I'll let'em live longer a bit until I clean up the enclosure next time. Will bluey eat springtails?

I don’t believe so. Springtails stay so tiny it likely wouldn’t bother. If you can picture about as long as your pinky finger’s nail is wide, that’s a pretty good estimation of the longest one I’ve seen. They’re actually really interesting little bugs, I have a culture of them and while I wait to be able to put them in the enclosure they’ve become almost like low maintenance pets!

Springtails are a fraction of a fraction of an inch. That little cluster you see in the water is probably about 5-10 of them. Your BT wouldn't even see it, never mind eat it.

For me, it came out of no where but I guess it's from the leaf litter I bought from Tarantula shop, I don't do bioactive setup, that's why I want to stay away from bug as possible because I have my Bluey enclosure in my room.

Yah, I believe they have a tendency to do that...
I believe they’re native to... basically everywhere, so they really could have just hopped on in on their own!
