The photo is a little fuzzy but what I think I see in an ‘assassin bug’ which if I am correct is not the root of your problem as they are beneficial as they eat other insects.
Take a closer look to see if there are other bugs present, snails, slugs or anything else.

If anything it will be the larvae (of whatever it is) that’s chewing leaves etc.
The picture gives no idea of size. And what do you mean “decimating everything you try to grow from seed”? Google suggests its a fungi gnat which may or may not be true. But fungi gnats are attracted to wet soil and if you’re overwatering you’re seeds trays, the seedlings are just dampening off. Nothing to do with any insect.

gnats? put a little dish of apple cider vinegar mixed with dish soap near your plants and they go into it and die
