Hi. I bought a bonsai. Chinese elm and I noticed a bug on the dirt this morning. What do I do? What product do I buy. I love my bonsai and want to make sure I take good care of it. Attached is a video of the bug.

I am going to guess the bug is that white smudge and will guess it is a springtail.

Do not keep the soil wet all the time, Allow it to dry (but do not let it dry out completely)

No. 名媛直播 are living organisms. In the soil there are loads of other living organisms. Just because it moves, does not mean you need to kill it.
