No picture but what are these?

I notice these every time I water my chids. I usually water by placing the pot in a bowl and watering so that the medium/pot is almost totally submerged and I notice these bugs that the best way to describe them is they look like round black pepper. They don't jump and they're about the size of a pinhead with antennae that stick straight out the side of their heads. Anyone have any ideas? I'm especially hoping that someone else from my area might have noticed these if they water this way; like Oscar or Smartie. Thanks for the help.
