CLOSED: Tiny bugs in petunia flowers?

Schertz, TX

Any idea what these tiny bugs are in my petunia flowers? They come running out of the center when you move or blow on the flower. I wish I could add a video, they're the little dash like specs in the picture. They only seem to be in the opened flowers.

Images not clear enough to be certain, but possibly thrips...

I'm thinking maybe that, I cropped a close up of another video.

Yes, they look more like thrips than anything else I can think of that one might likely encounter on flowers...
