 :o Not a scooby mate. Have you introduced any live plants to the tank? I'm just thinking that maybe they could have come from a plant that was carrying larva of some sort of fly?
I am in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.

the fact they are flying means they could have come from anywhere.

Have you anything you could cover the tank with to stop them reaching the water?

I'm thinking maybe a new house plant
This is getting expensive! I think I\\\'m gonna need a 2nd job to support my fish habit.
