Identify Little Black Flies?
Somebody else posted something in here about flies, but this is different. We have these little black flies in our house, wingspan about 1/4". The weird thing about them is that when you squish them, and it's easy, cause they don't move real well, they leave a powdery black spot. And that's about it. Not gooey like a house fly, just a black smoodge on the wall. My wife and I call them "Sh1t Flies". Anyone know where they come from?

Fruit flies are generally a lot smaller than 1/4 of an inch -- but are quite slow moving - and are usually in swarms.
This will show you some various fruitflies- -there's a bunch of different varities of them http://www.exploratorium.edu/exhibit...ant_flies.html

Nope, not a fruit fly. I see them at work, too. Oh well, i'll keep looking. Basically I want to know how many is one day's protein ration. J/K. Thanks for the help.
