@RadiantBreadnut I agree with @Seedstarter sounds like springtails if they're in the soil. Think of them as warning sign that you're either watering your plant too often, or you have it in conditions that don't allow the soil to dry out quickly enough between waterings. Springtails won't harm your plant, but root rot from overwatering will. Gold dust croton do best in terracotta pots since they're porous and allow the soil to dry out quicker. Use a well draining soil (succulent soil works well for them) and check to ensure it's almost completely dried out before watering again. They need watering even less frequently in the winter.
