Dark Winged Fungus Gnat
Dear Peggy,
We are so sorry because this has been on the back burner for nearly a week because we thought this was a March Fly but we were never able to find a match in that family. This is a Dark Winged Fungus Gnat in the family Sciaridae based on this BugGuide image. According to BugGuide: “Often found in flowerpots. In moist and shadowy areas up to 70% of all Diptera species can be Sciaridae.”
