Indoor chilli plant

[blossom]

Hi all,

I have a chilli plant on my window sill and noticed that when I watered it after being away for a few days that there were loads of little white jumpy things in it.
Any idea what they are? Should I panick, chuck it outside?

Thanks

they could be springtails Blossom, nothing really to worry about. unless you get over run

I really must get my eyes tested! I read your comments Nick and thought it said "run over"! not "over run"! was trying to picture someone getting run over by lots of little white flies! dexterdog

thanks, my other half thinks any fly that comes in our house must have come from my plants, so they wern't something I really wanted to see, but as long as they are harmless.
