Hi there! I've had a potted palm tree bunch (parlor palm i think) for about 6 years now. I bought it at the airport in Florida on my last family vacation so im kinda attached to it.
I potted after i brought it home and then repotted for the first time at the start of the season around April. Recently i gave it some fertilizer and a good soaking and for the first time i noticed small little white critters seen in the pic. They are very hard to see but they look like very little white caterpillars. The only time ive ever brought it outside was to transplant and the soil was a new bag of miracle grow houseplant mix. Also i am located around Chicago, IL if that helps.
Can anyone help me out in identifying and prescribing a remedy so i dont lose the plant. Like i said im attached and would hate to lose it. Ive read they can last decades but idk...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do they jump when disturbed? If so, they're just springtails.

They just wiggle and crawl if disturbed. No sign of them on the stems or fronds.
Idk if they always been there amd i never noticed. It if the plant food mix and heavy watering drive them to the surface.
Should i be concerned?

Anyone? - sorry, im that guy...
