I don’t know what it is, but lately I’ve been finding little tiny gnats (or gnat-like bugs) flying around my apartment. I don’t know where they are coming from, as I don’t recall having them here before, but I suppose it’s possible they could fit through the screen of my always open window. Also, with the weather being so warm lately, I’ve taken to leaivng my front door open, and although it opens into a hall, there is a window next to it that I have opened to allow a little cross ventilation.

So, it’s entirely possible they are just coming in the front door, but it’s still annoying. I mean, there aren’t like hundreds or enough to form a swarm or anything, more like the occasional one here and there, but when they decide to fly near your face (why, oh why do they insist on flying at my face??), even one is too many! I try to kill them when I can, clapping my hands together in the hopes of smooshing one (totally gross, but I try not to think about that, since they are tiny). I’ve caught a few in this way, but it always seems that shortly after, another is flying around to take its place.

Enough with the gnats!

My one lone plant looks a little worse for wear but is still hanging on. I looked at it, and no little gnats hanging around it. Apparently they only like hanging around my face.

Maybe it’s not a bunch of gnats though? Maybe it’s just one zombie gnat, that keeps coming back?
