Should I be concerned about these

[D. Torres]

Found these small bug like critters in my surface skimmer filter pad. I haven't seen them anywhere else in my tank or my canister filter. There were about 10 of them but they didn't seem to be moving around.

First pick looked like a top down black stomatella, but not after seeing the second one. Somebody else recently had something similar to house fly larvae making its way into their tank. Do they move or crawl on the walls, or are they just stuck to the pad? #reefsquad

Is it possible these are terrestrial insects?

@Dsnakes I haven' seen any moving around anywhere in my tank the only place I found them was my surface skimmer when I cleaned the filter and they weren't moving at that time. @Tahoe61 I have not seen any other bug like that in my house or ever in my life. After some Google searching I think it might be a type of arthropod. Specifically a Eurydice pulchra but I could be wrong.

Phliantidae looks like it might be a match. Check out the link below (book mark it, it will come in handy).
