Q: Are these spider mites? Or baby assassin bugs? Or baby cave crickets? At least two different critters here. I spray citrus with insecticidal soap every other week.
The white things are shed skins of live yellow-green aphids nearby. Aphids and spider mites are well-known pests of indoor citrus.
Insecticidal soap every two weeks is too seldom but spraying more often risks leaf burn.
Instead, try neem oil (click for sources).
