fear not my Friend...there are millions of the little critters moving around the area where you live.....most likely what you saw is the "grub" stage of a beetle....most live in the soil in the larval stage (grub) before morphing into one of thousands of beetles....most are beneficial...its a eat or be eaten insect world....from the info you have given, i don't think you have a problem with your plant...

Pesticides dont 'form' in plants. If they did we wouldnt have to buy them. Plants are not just naturally free from bugs and other "little gross things like that". They are where the bugs live. On plants.
P.s. Spontaneous generation was disproved long, long ago.

Contamination could occur at any time. When you bought it an egg could have been on the plant, been dormant for God knows how long, and hatched when conditions were right. Or, you might have walked by it with an egg on you. It could have been in the soil. Or on another plant if you had one. Animals, the water; everything is suspect.

Did you just buy this plant?? If so it could have came with the plant when you purchased it. Otherwise insects find their way to plants...it's there food and home. They don't just form in the soil...there would have to be an egg but that's doubtful if you used bagged-bought at the store soil....this stuff is sterilized.

The eggs for the bugs were in the soil; there is no spontaneous generation.

it crawled, swam or flew in, bugs cant just "form" in the dirt.
