It's a bad year for many insects, apparently.
I have a pet termite. His name is Clint. Clint eats wood.

I have noted very few houseflies (and similar) in my house in the Midlands but here in SW France they are legion.

Would have said usual amount of flies but that they are the out(f)liers.

There are the usual number of house flies in our neck of the woods, but fewer wasps than one would expect to see.
