Clogmia albipunctata, the most widespread synanthropic moth-fly in most of the world.

Thanks Kassel
Clogmia albipunctata, is very common in my area, but this particular one is nearly twice bigger, then usual. So I was wandering is it some reason for that .

Size is very variable in some of these flies -- it has to do with how much nutrients are available during the larval stage.
