Could be correct - a dipteran of some sort. Bottom line is this, you have a bacterial film in the water bowl that the larvae are feeding on. Wash and disinfect it - and they will go away. j |

I did a lot of research and I agree its most likely a drain fly
Sucks cause I just bought that pet water fountain and I don't want to even use it anymore!!
