Thread: Does anyone know anything about lepidopterology?

Only that it relates to things that flutter by.

We never see them flutter by, only resting on the tiles.

I guess it's a high speed flutter, then. More of a flit.

Drain flies ? … come up thru the floor waste in the shower … been having a similar issue … but only appear after shower has been on for 30sec or so … and there’s always more than one in our case … many more

Kev, I thought you'd abandoned us. Good to see you here.

I know it is not the study of leopards. I think that butterfly collectors just gave it the name to make it sound more exciting.

I doubt they would get past the trap in the drain?

Snakes and frogs do,but an insect like a moth?

Drain fly. Larvae lives in the traps and pipes. Sometimes called sewer flies or sludge flies. Years and years ago, I lived in a small cottage with an old waste system. Plagued by them coming in up through the pipes into the separate wash house and bath tub as it was very close to the waste tank. Problem abated when the septic tank was cleaned out.
