Have you heard of these things called drain flies? I hadn't until recently, when I looked up "black flies in bathroom". I'd been seeing quite a lot of them recently, having rarely encountered them before, and didn't know what they were. They are quite small and harmless, but with very distinctive heart-shaped wings - they almost look like small moths. Apparently they thrive in stagnant and standing water - and with the plumbing in this house, it doesn't surprise me that I've got them. I don't exactly have an infestation of them just yet, but if I start to see them more regularly then we might have a problem. Despite the fact that they are also called sewer flies, they are apparently quite common and don't spread diseases or anything. Thank god.
