What is this bug? It flies!

An ant? Baby cockroach?

I noticed it after I used some dry seaweed mix.

Not sure what it is but it looks like it is a predator looking for something small and wriggly to eat.

It does have wings. There maybe two, but the other one looks like a fruit fly.

At this point I am not sure. I have had bugs before but they were harmless to my plant. Reason this is getting attention is that some of my leaves have dark green spots on them and was wondering if the two are connected.

Keep an eye out, ants like to mine aphids for their honeydew.
