RE: [pestlist] Fruit Fly Question

Hello Tom (and All), Thank you for the positive identification. I’ve placed strips of tape over various drains and vents to see where they’re coming from and then I’ll deal with them. Thanks again. William Shepherd Collections Officer Swift Current Museum 44

Those are psychodid flies, so drain flies, sink flies, moth flies, or sewer gnats are all good common names. I prefer moth flies. Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E. Entomologist, Arachnologist, Myriapodologist Entomophagy Research Division of Invertebrate Zoology|American Museum of Natural History Central
