These tiny little bugs look like spiders and so they creep me out. I don't want to rid the garden of beneficial insects, so I went Internet searching, i can't find the exact bug, but I think they are aphids or spider mites. They definitely do not look like any of the listed "good bugs" even though I have seen no plant damage to the lettuce. I do have damage to nearby plants so I am going to try and get rid of these creepy crawlers using biodegradable soap and water first. I found this link on-line that has a bunch of bug remedies for natural growing practice.
