Hi does anyone know what these are, i noticed them a few days ago in the drip tray. They have came out the soil when i've watered my tree.

I've had my Tree (Ligustrum) for 18 months and never seen these before.

Thanks Martin

Soil mites, eggs of some kind of insect, white worms, nematodes, rice grains, a fungus, the ash from your cigarette, tiny little rocks, Leprechaun's milk teeth or:

You really need to make a better close-up.

Random guess: Springtails.
