Attracted to UV light.
We noticed a major emergence of these minute drain/moth flies late in the evening. About 20 to 30 emerged from a bathroom sink. I collected one and photographed it with a small inexpensive digital microscope on May 3. The black lines on the grid paper are 5 mm apart. Calculated measurements: FW length 2 mm. Body length about 2.2 to 2.5 mm (difficult to gage becuase the head is bent downward). Most images show only the underside of the left or right wing. The 2nd image shows a portion of the upper side of the right wing.
The last image show the upperside of the left wing.

I disturbed this guy while gardening
Not sure what kind, but this guy was moving around on the ground this morning. I think I’ve seen this before. I don’t know what kind of caterpillar, but I’m sure it’s a caterpillar.
