Hi,
These are Blackfly larvae (Simuliidae). Perfect food and i get loads in filter. They will cause no harm whatsoever. They are also filter feeders, spinning web like structures collecting debris from water column.

Yep, blackfly larvae, they love running water on waterfalls or similar, just scrape them off so that they are washed into the pond and your fish will enjoy the treat.
