What are these bugs? (pics included)

[dogwoodinthegarden]

I bought some garden furniture recently and within a few days, these bugs turned up and they're always on it now when I go outside. There are a lot of them and they're very small. I was hoping to dine outside occasionally, but can't really do that with the bugs constantly there. Does anyone know what they are, and how to get rid of them (or at least, discourage them from taking over my furniture)?

Garden critters. Nothing to be concerned about.

Could be woodworm. Photos are too blurry to tell, but Google woodworm and hit 'Images'.

There are bugs everywhere in the garden, you'll never eat outside if you worry about every single one

It's a garden. It's teeming with all kind of bugs. They tend to be attracted to lighter colours, by the way.
But just brush them off the table and use it. If you are set on eradicating them that's basically what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life. There are more bugs than humans, and we share a planet. You're bigger than they are too - imagine how they feel seeing you lumbering down the garden!

They seem to have a pointed rear end, so not woodworm

this looks a bit like yours but in the USA

Yeah, they could be springtails. Harmless. They’ve got a cunning mechanism, if I remember the details correctly, whereby a hook on the back legs hold them in place while their muscles build up tension, which is released explosively when the hook releases, hence the huge jumps. Looking at a leaf litter sample under the microscope is interesting, because suddenly a springtail is there, having arrived from nowhere,and equally suddenly it is gone again.

Don't know but could they have been eggs laid in the place the furniture was built? You can do an image search if you put your pic into Google it will give matching images and info.

They tend to be attracted to lighter colours, by the way.

Maybe chuck a darker tablecloth on it, see if that helps?

Thrips?
