I need some help in identifying this critter. It was found in southeast Georgia in a home I am renovating. There were several around the sink and toilet bowl.

Approximately 5 millimeters long. Stripes black/dark gray. Tapered end seems to be moving as though it was the head. Bulbous end has two extrusions like antennae?

Thanks in advance.enter image description here

Found it!

Seems to actually be the pupae phase of the common drain fly - psychoda spp.

Looks like I'm going to be routing or replacing the pipes in that house.

Thanks.
