Have you ever overwatered a houseplant? Then you’ve met the fungus gnat. These black specks live in the damp soil of your beloved fern. They think your plant pot is a luxury apartment complex.
Here’s the funny part: the adults are just annoying, but the larvae? They love your plant’s roots. It’s not personal—they’re just hungry. If you see them, it means your plant is basically a swamp.
A quirky fact: fungus gnats are terrible at flying. They move like tiny, drunk helicopters. That’s why they always bump into your face. They aren’t aggressive; they’re just clumsy.
