Another great video! I collected these flies pupae in abundance while doing a stream survey below a well know dried corn cannery's spray irrigation field. It wasn't the grossest stream I ever sampled, but it was right up there on the list. It's the only time I ever saw them outside of a restroom environment.

I had a big issue with these a year or so ago. It wasn't so much that they were flying around so much as they'd be attracted to the water in my refrigerator's ice maker and then freeze to death in there. Every ice cube had flies in them until I got drain cleaner and flypaper

We had these guys in our seldom-used basement shower a few years ago. Took me forever to figure out where they were coming from. They were so cute that i felt bad taking care of the problem.
(I solved it with boiling water down the drain)

They show up in our bathrooms like once every few months, probably through the shower drains. But yeah, I've never had one land on me. Or anything other than the bathroom walls really. They don't bother me, so I don't bother them.

I’m a pretty clean person so I always wondered where these strange flys came from. The weren’t fruit flys or the ones that would come from my potted plants so it was always a mystery. Thanks for letting us know.

Always had some of this guys buzzing around an aquaculture lab I used to work in. I thought they were actually moths at first! Really cool to learn why I always found them there. Lots of organic waste and water.

This is SO fascinating! This reminds me of a series of videos called "Was it Designed" There are SO many varied and fascinating creatures on our planet, that the existence of a Creator is obvious to me

I misinterpreted the title and thought these flies infected one's throat or burrowed their larvae there or somethin' scary. Glad you cleared that up with literal pipes! lol

I have been observing these little fellas around my bathroom sink for years. I had never considered how their fuzzy wings could help them adapt to their environment!

So that’s what those flies are in my bathroom. Even the larvae have been in the shower sometimes. They leave me alone and stay in the bathroom so I don’t care.

Growing up in North Alabama, we never saw these. Then about 20 years ago, they just showed up. Are they invasive or did they just migrate here

these guys are usually landed on my fruits and moist foods.
edit: someone said the same thing, "if you want it, you'll have to take it! "
