Field Notes

Description:

Psychodidae; Psychodinae; Paramormiini; Clogmia; C. albipunctatus (Williston, 1893). "This very common species has a worldwide distribution in tropical and temperate areas and is often associated with humans. The species can be found near sewer drains, sewage treatment plants, plant pots, swamps and any other shaded place containing decaying, moist organic matter." Wikipedia.

Habitat:

This little fly (which I thought was a moth) was on the outside of our back wall, near a faucet used for watering our vegetable plot. So it seems to have found the ideal habitat as described by Wikipedia.
