They do look like ants, not mosquitos.

I’m impressed by the two with the raft Grin

Fungus gnats, also called drain flies

I look more like a bloody mosquito than they do. 😂😂.
I'd say they're flying ants.

I've just googled fungus gnats.
They're not in soil etc like they say. Literally mainly in just the kids water table. I keep tipping out and re filling then they're back.

Ants, the small kind

I downloaded a insect identifyer and put you picture in and it resembled the ants (flying) the most but it wasn't a 100% match.

If you search for 'insect identify' on the play store, there's lots to choose from, I went with the first one (I've indentified a few different butterflies, spiders and a grass hopper) it is called picture insect
