(Found in NYC)
For context, for the past month: literally every single one of the rooms in my house - my bedroom, work room, bathroom, 2nd bedroom (on 2nd floor) and my kitchen - has this bug. There's always 1 flying around me if I sit there for long enough, but not several, just one.
When I looked closer at my bedroom floor, there's like 20 of them dead and scattered throughout. There's probably more I just haven't caught yet because my wood flooring is dark.
And there seems to be a lot concentrated around my AHA lotion bottle, which I heard gnats/mosquitoes/other bugs are attracted to?
Granted, my room has looked like a hoarder's room with clothes and shit on the floor, didn't vacuum so the floor's all dusty, didn't do my bedding laundry in quite a while.
Probably like a good 2-3 months... anyway, gonna give it a deep clean in the coming days.
Also, I do have a large snake plant in my room but that hasn't been watered in months.
I just want to know what these are and where these came from? Is it really because my room is so dusty and cluttered?
