I was fertilizing Benji when I saw a little bug on the bottom of the pot. I lost it so I wasn't able to get a photo of it. It kinda looked like a fruit fly, so it may just be that, but idrk, I've never had pests before so I'm not sure. Benji is one of my healthiest plants so I don't think it would be pests but just making sure. Help pls!

Maybe a fungus gnat?
