Moth fly larva

Found in moist, organic-rich environments such as sink drains, sewers, septic tanks, and damp soil.

Feeds on decaying organic matter, algae, fungi, and bacteria found in biofilm/slime.

Leathery, legless larvae that live within the gelatinous film of drains; they undergo complete metamorphosis to become fuzzy, moth-like flies.

Generally harmless to humans but can indicate sanitation issues; they provide a benefit by breaking down organic sludge in plumbing systems.
