Fruit fly or Gnat (generic tiny fly)

Found indoors near organic decay, moist soil, sinks, drains, and ripening fruit.

Larvae feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, and fermenting liquids; adults seek out sugars and moisture.

Attracted to light and moisture; rapid reproduction cycles often leading to sudden infestations in kitchens or bathrooms.

Primarily a nuisance pest; can potentially transport bacteria from decaying matter to food surfaces, but they do not bite humans.
