Just looks like a fungus gnat! Should be able to treat with mosquito bits and sticky traps if they get too bad, but they won’t harm your plant. Let the top of your soils dry out too since they live in the top inch and try bottom watering for a while.

That looks like a fungus gnat. While essentially harmless to your plants are quite annoying. Cinnamon on top of the soil works but I’ve also had great success keeping them away by putting a layer of pebbles on top of the soil of my plants. The pebbles prevent them from going into the soil, and if they are already in the soil it prevents them from getting out. They are attracted to the damp moist soil.

A layer of sand also works.
