About one week ago I disposed of everything in my pantry and bought dozens of airtight plastic containers to store all foods in after finding several sawtoothed grain beetles in my flour.
I suspected I was getting some flies out of my shower drain on the second floor, taped over the drain, and my suspicions were confirmed. After pouring a pot of boiling water down the drain, I put the pot on the stove to cool, and later came back to this bug in the bottom of the pot. It is very small, about 4mm, the size of a typical "gnat" type insect. I just cannot tell what it is. I wish I could take clearer photos, these are from a cell phone camera.
I'm trying to figure out if I still have some grain beetles around if or this was just a one off bug that found its way in, or maybe even another fly from a drain. Thanks for you help in advance!
