Dio,
I'm sorry; as others have mentioned it was springtails (Sira buski),
not thrips (Thrips ssp., also some similar insects of other genera), that are
harmless. I often confuse their names for some reason. These two
insects are distiguishable in that springtails are wingless; they can
only jump around. Thrips can fly and chew plants to their demise, if not
properly taken care of. Hope this clears things up.

Ben
