Fungus Gnat
Adults are found in damp places and have a very short life span.
Many species feed at flowers. The larvae feed on decaying vegetation and fungi. A few are predaceous.
Because they feed on fungi, some species can be serious pests on mushroom farms. Fungus Gnats are small, slender to moderately robust flies.
Many species are about the same size as a mosquito, but they have simple antennae and a humped thorax that hides the head from above.
They have long legs, and stiff bristles on the thorax and tibia.
