Clogmia albipunctata
🚽 Bathrom 🦋 moth 🦟 midge!
This cute member of the Psychodidae family can reach a length of 3-5 millimeters. It only lives about 12 days as an adult. If it doesn't slurp water or flower nectar, it just hangs on some walls or trees.✌️
It's distribution is worldwide in tropical and temperate areas. The origin of their distribution is unknown.
Their larvae live in aquatic environments and take about 18 days to turn into a pupa, which develops into an adult after 5 days.
Because of their fine water-repellent hairs, adults and larvae are difficult to drown and are not affected by contact with most water-borne toxins. They can also handle very high temperatures.
