Bathroom Fly
Hi shayni,
THough it resembles a moth, this Bathroom Fly is really a fly in the subfamily Psychodinae, the Moth Flies. There are genera in the subfamily that look alike, and BugGuide pictures many species found in North America. Bathroom Flies or Filter Flies as they are also called are often found indoors in damp bathrooms because they breed in the muck that accumulates in plumbing.
