My bonsai tree has recently started looking pretty ill, with quite a few leaves going brown and falling off.

Just today I noticed there are tiny little creatures living on top of the soil and when I lifted the tree pot up there are loads of them in the gravel too. What the heck are they?
 
I would suggest a complete change of soil and endeavour to get the little blighters off as much as you can and also check for eggs and remove them.

It seems that whatever nutrients the tree needs are being used by the little uns.
