Clogmia albipunctata is easily cultured, according to Simões et al. (1977), Schmidt-Ott et al. (1994) and Rohr et al. (1999). According to the later two articles, Klaus Sander (sanderk@uni-freiburg.de) is the man to talk to about these matters and will provide cultivation protocols upon request.
For breeding smaller moth flies (Psychoda spp. sensu Wagner, Withers, Bravo, etc.), Turner (1923) cites dung, decaying vegetation or agar made from a hay infusion as appropriate media. The common filter fly Psychoda (Tinearia) alternata Say, 1824 has a life cycle at about two weeks at 22-25 centigrades; between 27 and 30 centigrades it may be as short as a week.
