They look part of the moth family. Not directly harmful to plants but their larvae are.
Edit
Maybe these

That is what I looked up as well but wanted to make sure. Suggestions remedies? they re in the clay pebbles.

Neem oil during veg, insecticide soap, stickies. Turning the light off in your tent and using an ambient light in the outside room to draw them out. Maybe with some plant rustling. Manual removal by hand. Probably wouldn’t be concerned with larvae in clay. Keep trimmings out of area. Lady bugs, lacewings. inspecting your plants daily for the telltale spittle masses on stems and leaf joints. These foamy deposits house the nymphs and can be removed with a strong spray of water, which helps dislodge and expose them. Hand-removal of any visible bugs is also effective. To treat the plant naturally, mix 1–2 teaspoons of pure cold-pressed neem oil with 1 liter of warm water and about 1/2 teaspoon of mild liquid soap (like Castile) to help emulsify the oil. Spray this solution over the entire plant, focusing on lower leaves and stems, every 5 to 7 days, ideally in the early evening/lights out avoid light damage. You can also place yellow sticky traps near the plants to catch the adults, which helps control their population. Reduce excess humidity and improve air circulation around your grow area to prevent favorable breeding conditions.

Awesome! Thank you SO much!

No problem. I’d probably do the least invasive treatment first before resorting to sprays. 
you got this.

Not sure what they are, but I’d give Captain Jacks deadbug or Purecrop1 a shot…I’m all about the plant and human safe nuclear option

When choosing between Jack’s Dead Bug (Spinosad), neem oil, and insecticidal soap for cannabis pest control, each has distinct strengths. Jack’s Dead Bug, made with Spinosad, is a fast-acting insecticide that works well against thrips, caterpillars, and spider mites by disrupting their nervous systems. It’s safe for cannabis during the vegetative and early flowering stages, offering up to a week of residual protection. Neem oil, by contrast, works more slowly, interfering with insect hormones and feeding, and is best used preventatively during veg; however, it’s not recommended in flowering due to potential bud contamination and flavor issues. Insecticidal soap is the safest and cleanest option for use even during flowering, but it only kills on direct contact and has no residual effect. For aggressive infestations, Jack’s Dead Bug is often the most effective, while neem and insecticidal soap serve well in maintenance or early-stage control, especially when rotated to reduce resistance.

I do my best! Thank you. Jacks Dead Bug is a banger but contains Spinosad which most the time wouldn’t pass lab inspections but in home use early on it’s an awesome pest control candidate. Always recommend going the homeopathic route first before presenting chemicals. Jack’s Dead Bug, neem oil, and insecticidal soap each come with specific drawbacks when used on cannabis plants. Jack’s Dead Bug, which uses Spinosad as its active ingredient, is effective against a range of pests but can leave behind residues if used during late flowering, potentially impacting the flavor and quality of buds. It can also harm beneficial insects like bees and predatory mites if they come into direct contact with the spray. (Bigger deal in outdoor) Neem oil is a natural option that works well in the vegetative stage, but it has a strong smell and can cause leaf burn if applied during hot or sunny/high light conditions. More importantly, neem oil should not be used during flowering because it can leave an unpleasant taste or residue on the buds. Insecticidal soap is gentle and safe to use even during flowering, but it only kills pests on direct contact and has no lasting effect, which means it needs to be reapplied frequently to be effective. Each product has its place in a pest management routine, but their limitations should be considered carefully based on the plant’s growth stage and the type of infestation.

If there’s only a couple of insects just spray them with alcohol. get a 50-60% alcohol solution and just spray it on the insects. It’s safe and quick.
