You need to look at the merged/separated thorax and wing length to determine the bug you are battling. Can't see enough detail to call it in that one photo, although it looks like a fly rather than aphidI have a fair few little flies hanging around the soil, they don't seem to have any interest in the actual plant just the soil. So here's a picture can anyone tell me what it is and how to get rid of the horrible little things. View attachment 5133163
