Only if they're doing something bad to your plants.

I cannot tell if they are harming the plants, but there are a lot...

can you post images? That would help us help you.

sadly no... I have no photobucket nor can I do HTML sorry.
But they are just really tiny and gray. they are probably the size of the inside of this "a"...if that helps. Again I'm sorry.

I've had pretty good luck with this site: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/??

It's pretty easy to look down the list on the right and make a guess as to the sort of bug your looking for, then click to see if that's the right idea..process of elimination goes quickly, then your good to find the exact match.

Sorry I'm not familiar with what your describing.

Here is a link that might be useful: What's that bug

What's sad is you're not willing to help us help you. Photobucket is free.

If they don't seem to be hurting anything I'd ignore them. There are a lot of small insects that like to live in starter pot conditions but don't do harm. Live and let live. If you just HAVE to get rid of them DE will probably do the job without hurting your plants.

You don't need to know a thing about HTML to post your picture here. Below is a link to the "Register" page on Photobucket. All you have to do is to sign-up following the simple instructions, (Free), then upload your pictures from your computer to Photobucket. All you have to do now is to hold your cursor over your picture in Photobucket and another small window will drop down that will have different codes, click on "HTML Code" to highlight it and hit "CTRL C" on your keyboard to copy the picture, then go to your post here on GW where you want to put it and hit "CTRL V". Preview your message and you'll see your picture.

Now you know how you can post a picture here. I hope this helps...

:( I'm sorry. I'm still living with my parents, and...the computer here blocks photobucket. And my mom won't unblock things for me...

Ok, I went to take a picture of the bugs but could not find any! But I did see a second caterpillar.
The first was on a sprout, I guess it was eating it.
This one was crawling across the soil. I uploaded my photo to snapfish. but cannot find a HTML code.
Here is the best I can do...

It is a tiny worm about one cm long maybe.
Is it a problem?
what should I do?

Here's the worm from your picture on snapfish, It looks like a corn earworm to me, others may have more information. What type of plant was it on when you found it?

THANK YOU! I'm not sure why but that made my day! :D DO you mind telling me how you did that (unless it is too complicated)

And the first one was on a basil sprout and the second was just in the soil in that general area.

I was wondering if: that is a corn earworm, why is it so small? aren't they normally larger?

You're very welcome, and I'm happy that I could make your day.

I don't mind telling you how to do that at all. I enjoy sharing information to help others as long as they're willing to also help themselves.

Unfortunately what I did involved the use of Photobucket and I guess that you're not allowed to use them. I only use Photobucket to post Photos on the Internet not for my other Photos, and I'm not familiar with snapfish. Is there some particular reason why you're not allowed to use Photobucket but it's okay for you to use other free Photo hosting sites?

I'll go to snapfish and figure-out how you can imbed your pictures in your posts. Using pictures to help describe things will go a long way to "help others help you."

The reason I can use Snapfish is because my mom unblocked it so SHE could use it to send albums to her mom...but no, she cant unblock photo bucket...
Thanks for the help though!
But back on topic. Is that really a corn Earworm?

link8879 - I went to snapfish and read the following about sharing pictures:

"How Do I Share Photos Online?
Once you've uploaded photos to your Snapfish account, just click on "share" in the right-hand toolbar, and then "share a photo," or "share this album,". Enter as many email addresses as you'd like, edit your message, and then click the "share photo" or "share album" button. It's that easy!"

It looks like you're not able to imbed a link to your pictures here on GW from snapfish, but in order to know for sure I'll have to join them and upload a couple of my Photos and play around with it. Give me some time and I'll get back to you. We'll get it straightened-out for you one way or another so you can share the progress of your garden.

I'm not sure what kind of caterpillar it is...let's just call it a 'green caterpillar' and that would fit the description of about a zillion species, lol. ESPECIALLY when they are young, which is why yours is so small. Caterpillars hatch from eggs that are the size of the head of a pin or smaller.

We silly humans just don't notice them until they are big enough to chow down entire plants in one night.

Man! Thank you so much!

oh...I feel educated! Now the question is what to do about these little guys...

How many "little guys" do you have? I'm sorry but I'm confused, (easy to do with me - lol). Didn't you write that your plants are in trays, or are they planted in the ground? Are they seedlings or large plants. If they're just in trays just pick them off and dispose of them. If they're large plants there's a number of things you can do depending on whether you want to control them orgaincally or use chemicals.

So I joined snapfish and uploaded your picture to figure-out how you can imbed your future pictures in your posts here on GW. Apparently with them you can't imbed your pictures in a post on a forum but you can provide a link which is better than nothing. Here's how:

Go to your album on snapfish and click on "sharing." A little window will pop-up with (3) choices on how to share your pictures. Select "sharing with a link." You'll then see a code in a little box, highlight this code and cut and paste it here at the bottom of your post where it says "Optional Link URL." Give it a name and that should do it. It will give others a link to click on and see your picture. I'd much rather imbed photos in my posts but I guess you can't do that with snapfish. I'm going to email them and find-out if there's a way that I'm missing because now I'm curious. I hope this helps, if you have any other problems let me know.

And to recap:
Seedlings in trays. But if i just keep picking them what will prevent them from coming back?
