EDIT: hey yall thank you so much for your responses but I now know this is a cranefly and that they are harmless!

I appreciate the replies don’t get me wrong but this is THE MOST POPULAR POST ON MY BLOG. Why should I spend five hours rendering a price when I could scream about a bug I’ve never seen before and get three times the attention? I did see one other cranefly in my bathroom since. It bonked three times into the same spot in the same wall and then landed on the rim of my bathtub. Now that I knew then it was harmless it was actually very cute and dumb and so I just left it be, haven’t seen it since.

Now, first thing I learned: fruit flies don't eat fruit. They eat yeast. They eat the yeast on fermenting fruit. They can not actually eat fruit. Their name is a lie.

Secondly, one of the two mutant lines I was given to cross are flies with the apterous mutation, aka they're wingless. I feel so bad for them, they can't do the one thing they're named for, they cant fly.

And then I realized. My fruit flies are in truth insects that eat yeast and can't fly.
