    It's definitely not a fungus gnat; they're grub-like as larvae. It's a bit blurry, but I'd guess it's an aphid

      what do aphids do?

      They suck leaf juices and damage plants. Indoors, they can be treated with neem oil. Outdoors, put one to six ladybugs or a praying mantis on the affected area; they're really effective
