Juniper bonsai is turning yellow during the heat of AZ summer

I was going to check if it needed water and I was told to stick my finger a few inches in to make sure it was dry and found there were alot of these white i don't know what under the surface of the dirt. (first picture is of dirt itself)(second is of the thing outside the dirt)(third is a few I found in the dirt) I don't know if these are supposed to be there or not but i figured i would ask. I decided not to water it because some of the dirt under the surface was still damp.

Are those insects of some kind or something else? It's a little hard to make out of the pics.

Sorry, I meant- are they alive or part of the soil? The pic is a bit blurry so I can't really tell what I am looking at.

As the others pointed out, the picture is too blurry to make accurate assessment of what it is, but constantly wet organic soil is a perfect breeding ground for a whole host of insects. A good chance that it is a white grub larvae

hi sorry for being rude it looks like a white worm that is skinny but also very small.
