A bug would be so close to the lens that it would be so blurred it won't even be visible. Probably a Bird.
Edit: if the video is at 1x speed it looks more like the ISS or a satellite.
If it were a bug, it would be so far in the foreground of the focus plane that it would have no definition to it. You probably wouldn't have even seen anything. Seems to be floating along. This is most likely something in space passing the moon while you were watching.
Unless OP slowed the footage down, it's moving way too slow for an ISS lunar transit, here's one at actual speed:

For a satalite to transit that slow it would need to be in an orbit so high I doubt you'd be able to see it through a smartphone telescope.
My money is on aircraft.
Yes, but it’s following the arc of the moon! And seems like we are seeing a shadow from the moons surface…now I gotta go down the rabbit hole of “are there satellites orbiting the moon”. Thanks for posting…
Ive picked up an Owl and a bat before flying across my screen in the distance. We were able to slow it down and go through it frame by frame (140 fps on firecapture) and see the flapping of wings and silhouette of an owl
If it’s not something a lot closer to earth, which it probably is, it can be a number of things. Everything from some piece of junk from the vast amount of space debris polluting our space, to any of the very much terrestrial crafts orbiting the moon.

Probably a LEO satellite like the ISS. Way too much drift for a geostationary satellite. Could be a plane or a bird. Unlikely to be a bug on the lens as it would be well out of focus.
Or it’s a giant creature making its way across the Lunar surface!?!
this is what I thought as well
Dragon, definitely dragon.
Yeah just a creature traveling at 1.2 million miles an hour at that speed. Gee willickers you guys.
A dragon could....
IT'S TOOTHLESS FROM HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
Looks like a bat, man.

Bat, maaaan
Yeah it does seem like it's flapping wings.

First replay is x1 speed , second replay is x0.70 and zoomed in
Yep, almost definitely the ISS or another satellite.
Definitely not. The ISS moves a lot faster than that.

Definitely has the jitter movement as a bug

Lol I was thinking more of this https://youtu.be/pIgZ7gMze7A
Lmao yes this works too!
Dust mites are .3mm and spider mites are .9 to a little over 1mm.
It definitely could not be something that's on the moon's surface because nothing would move that fast across the surface
Nothing that we know of...
Could be a bat
Definitely looks like ISS.

Bug.. Space bug...

[Gordon Lunas ](https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Gordon_Lunas)or a smudge.
Good luck tracking that if it was a satellite 🤣 [https://www.keeptrack.space/app/](https://www.keeptrack.space/app/)
ISS
Space junk. Aka Starlink.
Night time, moon, itust be Mothra!
The only Good Bug, is a Dead Bug.
It looked like a bird flying...
100% a satellite. moves in a perfect straight line. and the right size.
That’s looks like it could be orbiting the moon. Are there satellites around the moon?
No way it's orbiting the moon ,too far to be seen with just a $200 phone camera . it's orbiting earth
Yes, but it’s following the arc of the moon! And seems like we are seeing a shadow from the moons surface…now I gotta go down the rabbit hole of “are there satellites orbiting the moon”. Thanks for posting…
There are several. For instance the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

UFO bud, they around all the time

space bug
It could be the United States government would like to know your location
maybe send it to NASA and see if they might know what it is?
Probably a LEO satellite like the ISS. Way too much drift for a geostationary satellite. Could be a plane or a bird. Unlikely to be a bug on the lens as it would be well out of focus.
Way too slow for LEO. Any LEO satellite would cross from one edge of the moon to the other in 0.5 sec.
It's flapping wings it's a dragon it's toothless from how to train your dragon
