Hello.
I came to find these tiny bugs spread throughout 5 different pots.
They are really tiny, black and roundish bugs. They seem to only come out during nights and they walk on the leaves and seem to feed on them.
Today I found out they jump when touched.
I already tried to search for this pest.

It might be a flea beetle but without a picture there is no way to tell.

Sounds like a flea beetle. Take plant outside and immerse in water. These bugs dont like water and will jump off.
