Its outdoor enclosure
Do i have to worry?
Nature is full of little bugs that do the clean-up job in nature. It looks like you have some substrate flies or "gnats" that are liking the damp area and organic matter left in the enclosure. Should not hurt anything and is normal. We even get a similar thing in our indoor enclosures.

Just be sure you do not let older food or your tortoise's poop build up in the enclosure. Pick up and remove as much as you can daily. But you will still have some and the bugs are a natural "clean-up crew".
