Default A bit too mild

In article ,
lid says...

I had to despatch a queen wasp resting on a houseplant yesterday. What
is a queen wasp doing out in the middle of December?!



I think the word houseplane may give you a clue. Nice warm
house, plent of plants on which to snack, probably fruit in a
bowl somewhere.......

As I was walking along the canal this afternoon in a chilly and
windy 9ºC, there was a large swarm of midge like insects
hovering across the towpath!
