Another picture of the jumping worms
Maybe springtails? I don't know. I'm leaving them be for now since I haven't noticed any damage to the plants or an abundance of other insects. Again, they fold themselves in half and fling themselves open causing them to be propelled some distance. They seem to be living in the cocoa bean mulch. I just watered some zinnia's I have growing there and thats when I noticed them.

Oh God Matt, I have these and I am sooo scared, not sure what to do.
I hate these things
Don't worry - they only come out when it rains or you water. They don't cause any damage to the plants or anything else. I pulled up the mulch and have never seen another one.
