Moth flies (Psychodidae), also called drain flies, are a small family of true flies (Diptera), not moths, closely related to mosquitos. Some harmless species are often found in bathrooms and kitchens, but the subfamily Phlebotominae  includes several blood feeding species commonly referred to as sand flies.

Scientific classification: Animalia - Arthropoda - Insecta - Diptera - Nematocera - Psychodomorpha - Psychodoidea - Psychodidae

I’ve heard of people having so many moth flies in their house they accidentally get into food and drinks or even get breathed in but I’ve never seen more than one or two at a time and it always seems special. A visit from the mildew fairies.
