Probably a Fungus Gnat. Example pic here. They don't bite or sting, and are often associated with over watered houseplants (they breed in the soil).

Thanks, read up on them, I'll test this theory by making a yellow sticky trap and see if it accumulates the flies. I'll also let the soil dry out a bit.

Started to appear a couple weeks ago, early February or so. I have a ton of house plants, few carnivorous.

I had a nasty aphid invasion last year on one of my smaller outside trees, brought one of my indoor plants outside for a couple weeks but quite a distance away from the infestation, unfortunately found out that I do have aphids on the indoor plant a couple weeks ago, little white babies appearing in the soil. Is it possible these are early aphids attempting to locate plants/trees? Regular fruit flies? No scale but they're approximately 1-2mm.
