Try to retake the first picture. When I tap on it to increase the size of the picture so I can see “whatever it is”, it goes to the second photo. Somewhere there’s a problem. It would be a great idea if you could get another close-up of “whatever that is” so that we could better see them. Good luck! 😊💚🪴

Looks like a milli/centipede. They are an indicator of healthy soil. They feed on decomposing material.

Looks like an aphid on the rim of the plastic pot.
