Scuttle fly

7053.         These keep crawling out from behind the overhead fan above my stove. At first I thought they were flies but then I realized it doesn’t look to have wings. Then I thought it might be a roach but it doesn’t seem to have antenna. It’s summer time and very hot in the apartment. It kind of looks like a scuttle fly but why doesn’t it have wings? Thanks for your help! Vancouver, BC. Canadaa

Number 7053. This does look like a scuttle fly (Diptera Phoridae); Click here for an image. In addition to some species having wings so transparent as to be nearly invisible, some other phorids are completely wingless.
