might be fungus gnats larvae, they do feed on your roots so they need to be dealt with

I hear asprin helps out. Ill get you a link if you like. And honestly it could be a wide range of bugs they all kinda start the same way and grow up to be something else. Whats your OD climate looking like? Its cold where I am in December
