Darkwing Fungus Gnat

Bradysia sp.

Description:

Fungus gnats are small flies in the Family Sciaridae. • Adults are 2-5 mm (1/5 inch) long, with long, bead-like antennae, long legs and clear wings with a prominent Y-shaped vein. • Larvae are legless, white or translucent maggots with a dark head capsule. Adults are poor flyers and tend to run along the soil surface when disturbed Source: http://appliedbio-nomics.com/wp-content/...

Notes:

I did find some larvae which I believe to be a similar species on jelly ear fungus http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/423...
