Default looks like a fly

ok guys sorry i don't have a pic but i just saw something in the tank for the first time a few minuntes ago that looked like a fly crawling around in my tank, it was mostly black and looked like a insect. before i knew it, it disappeared. this really freaked me out so if anyone knows anything that would be greatly appreciated.
