Dipteran Larva (poss. Fungus Gnat or Drain Fly Larva)

Damp environments high in organic matter, such as drains, moist soil, or decaying vegetation.

Feeds on fungi, algae, bacteria, and decaying organic material (sludge).

Generally slow-moving or legless; seeks moisture to avoid desiccation. Undergoes complete metamorphosis from larva to pupa to winged adult fly.

Harmless to humans but can be a nuisance pest indoors. Larvae help break down organic waste in drains, but large populations may indicate a drainage or moisture issue.
