UK question: A couple of years ago i noticed these strange bugs, some in our flat, some in communal entrance?

Question

They were really strange. They didnt look like ordinary insects at all, they looked like bits of black fluff or dirt! they werent a regular shape, they had irregular shapes. They moved REALLY gradually and slowly, in fact you wouldnt even know they were insects or that they moved unless you watched them carefully for a long period of time. They really freaked me out!!

Thankfully i havent seen them in a while, but does anyone know what they are, or has anyone seen them too.

Thanks

omg i have the same problem i live in a flat on the top floor in london and last yr i recently noticed these like fuzzy moths hovering outside my window, they would always appear at dusk and dawn.

I was told there where flying cockroaches, they where in the local paper once.
