Don't worry shenki! These are Chironomidae, non-biting Midges. Larvae live in pond mud and are often sold in aquarist shops as "bloodworm". |

They are actually fungus-gnats, I specialised in these for 10 years so I ought to be able to get them to species with a bit of effort.

Ceratelion striatum, I would say. By no means a common gnat.
Interesting.
