Does anybody know, whether Sciaridae (in particular Sciara species) are diurnal, nocturnal or crepuscular? |

Hi Tina, I'm no expert, but I see plenty of active sciarids during the day. No idea what they do at night though  .Stephen. |

Hi Tina I have seen them flying around potted plants at Scatsta Airport at night while I'm at work. That is in a lit building though, couldn't say about ones out in the wild. Roger |
