Identification of weird bug

[Hist]

Hi. I have noticed that these little guys are almost always underneath my pot plants in the garden, if the pot plant is left unmoved for a few days. As soon as I pick up the pot plant they all scramble to get back underground
Any idea what they are and if they are dangerous to my plants. It’s a huge population in my garden

Termites. Termite, eggs have four molting stages, while nymphs endure three stages. First, nymphs molt into workers, with some of these workers continuing to molt into soldiers or swarmers.

Termites, that was my first thought...
