bugs in my worm bin

I found some bugs in my indoor worm bin. I guess they were brought in on some fruit, don't really know as I am new to vermicomposting. The bugs were grouped together like a colony, very small, round and white/cream color. I had to look close to see some of them moving to identify them as bugs as they looked sort of like seeds.

Any thoughts?

They are mites I think. I read up on how to reduce their numbers, but it sounds like no reason to be alarmed.
