Moth Fly -
Setomima nitida
Norfolk, Virginia, USA
May 1, 2011
Size: ~3.7mm (head to wingtip)
These are usually hard to get good shots of. This one was asleep, I guess. It appeared very dark in color, nearly black. Not so in the images.

Thanks...
For some reason, the search feature wasn't working, so I put them in ID Request.

Probably
because you searched for "moth fly," which caused the system to look for every "moth" and every "fly," and blow its little mind, resulting in a blank screen.
For these critters, I always search for "drain fly." :)
