Looked in my raised garden bed and near the carrots found loads of these little white jumping bugs, just wanna know if harmful or not ☺️ P.s they don’t look like whitefly’s, abit small and have 2 antennas pretty sure. Maybe a mite?

I googled little white jumping bugs and up came

which would make sense.
Do your bugs look like these? Hard to see yours.
Oh I see "Springtails are found almost everywhere in Australia in a wide variety of habitats. They are most commonly found on or near the soil surface, usually associated with decaying vegetable matter, in rotten logs, under rocks or the bark of trees. Some species are even found inhabiting the nests of ants and termites."
