Moist environments with a food source is gonna attract them. No, “a fly is not a fly”. My comment asking for ID was before the OP physically described the flies so possibilities included fruit flies and the mentioned drain flies. But even _with_ the general description, there are flies that feed off of and breed on rotting meat, flies that feed off and breed on animal droppings, flies that feed on and breed on _earthworms_, as someone else posted, etc. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/LQCU36pkH7c/hqdefault.jpg ""Everyone Is Now Dumber" - Billy Madison") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQCU36pkH7c) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mild-pitting-of-beck/1008691)._
