well, could be, but most larvae of PsychodiNAE are very difficult and require detailed study of hairs and stuff. Is it aquatic, wet soil or....?

Thanks !
Aquatic, found in the shower syphon and I often have Clogmia albipunctatus arround.

It is certainly not a Psychoda/Tinaeria, which are also found in siphons. So Clogmia is most likely.
