Fungus gnat larvae make webs. Seeing as how the webbing looks messy and close to the substrate it’s most likely fungus gnat larvae. With spider mites, I always see the damage first (brown striping and doting around traps and underside of petioles) and have never noticed any webbing.

Yea, its a Coquillage.

What can I do to get rid of them? Or are they not a bother?

I’ve never seen any damage from fungus gnat larvae. Some people use mosquito dunks in their water trays to get rid of them, but I just leave them be.

Ok, I haven't seen any spider mites yet, so I think it just might be fungus gnats. I'll see.
