   Moth flies aka Drain flies (family Psychodidae) are small and mothlike and are commonly found around the openings of drain pipes. No more than 5 mm (0.2 inch) long, these flies have broad hairy wings that are held rooflike over the body when at rest, so that they resemble tiny moths.
   
   Most moth flies are harmless to humans, though they may transmit and spread bacteria and other microorganisms from their breeding ground to areas where people are. Moth flies do not bite, but they can be a nuisance and make for an uncomfortable living situation, as they may have been recently in contact with things like animal waste. Moth flies breed in the drains, drain openings, sewers, septic tanks, septic systems, kitchen sinks, and soil that has been contaminated with sewage which is why they are often called sewer flies. They feed off the filth and scum that build up in these areas.
