What is a "midge"?
A midge is a small flying insect belonging to the family Chironomidae. It is characterized by its delicate appearance and slender body. Midges are typically found near bodies of water, such as lakes, ponds, and rivers, as their larvae develop in aquatic environments. These insects are known for their swarming behavior, especially during dusk and dawn. While midges are often considered a nuisance due to their presence in large numbers, they do not pose significant threats to humans. They play essential roles in ecosystems as a food source for various animals and contribute to the pollination of certain plants.
مثال

The seemingly harmless prank ended up causing a lot of trouble, proving that the mother of mischief is no bigger than a midge's wing.
