Found these wriggly things in some fibre pots I've recently put some seeds into... What are they? Not sure how they got there, although being by the windowsill, there would be opportunities for visitors. They don't look like maggots, but knowing my luck...
Additionally, in another pot, I found these odd circular 'things' that seem to have a large hole in them. No idea what they could be

From the RHS site "Fungus gnats, also known as sciarid flies, are associated with damp composts especially in house plants and seed trays."
Bingo!
