Could just be flying ants or it could be thrips. Personally never had them so I wouldn't know, but I hear they are not hard to get rid of at all. Thrips would leave a type of slime on the leaf that's one of the signs

How would you normally deal with pests during flower? I’ve been given contradicting advice. Some ppl say neem oil is great others say not to during flower.

Indoor Flying Ants Are Not a Good Sign (Especially in Winter)
Flying ants in the home are never a good sign, and seeing winged ants indoors in the winter is especially problematic. Here's why and what to do.

The plants are outside. They have 3 sections to their body like an ant not a termite.Indoor Flying Ants Are Not a Good Sign (Especially in Winter)

Could be but I thought fungus gnats were smaller. Neem oil is okay I guess. In large concentrations it will can burn the leaf up. In small concentrations it doesn't work the best, clogs leaves pores. I'd use a neem based treatment like I've used Mite Rid before it works well but expensive, works good for preventative up to 2 weeks. I use Lost Coast Plant Therapy it works for me and cheaper.

They look like tiny wasps.
I see no leaf damage.

Yea I have eaten leaves and holes in leaves. Not too bad atm. I also just found a caterpillar aswell so, I have no idea if these black bugs are doing anything yet. Just wanted to get on top of it. I’m about 4 weeks into flower now, is permethrin ok to use on buds or keep off the buds?

Off the buds, I've done it @4 weeks personally, life of the spray is 28 days, up to you. No one noticed any differences. Again up to you..

I have just read other ppls experience and they reckon it killed their plants. Do you use it as directed or need to dilute? Thanks

Lucky enough to NOT be in Canada? I am, you should get Captain Jack's dead bug brew with spinosad. Works great, or did for my outdoor. Sigh, customs let one slip through, then they locked us out. That stuff worked really good as a preventative, I wish.....

In Canada, we do not have access to the great solutions you have south of the border. Really sucks ass trying to mix up your ipm here.

Hey mate I’m actually in Australia and can only find this product which the main ingredient is spinosad 0.24g/liter https://www.yates.com.au/product/garden-pest-control/yates-natures-way-fruit-fly-control
would this be ok?

Better than nothing...try a test on a small area first, make sure no damage to your plants...spray in low level light to avoid burning...good luck.
