Drain Fly Larva

Found in moist environments rich in organic matter, such as bathroom drains, septic tanks, and sewer pipes.

Consumes the organic slime (biofilm), fungi, and bacteria that accumulate inside drain pipes and wet crevices.

The larvae live within gelatinous films in drains; after finishing their larval stage, they pupate and emerge as small, fuzzy adult flies often called moth flies.

They do not bite or sting and are generally harmless to humans, but their presence can indicate a build-up of organic waste or standing water that needs cleaning.
