Burn mosquitoes with a torch

[delsus]

Hello,

It would be funny to reduce the size of a swarm when holding a lighted torch.
Indeed, it will give the torch some love, as with the new lanterns, torches have almost become obsolete
The light will attract the midges more, but they'll burn themselves to the light.
Same with smelters and ovens, mosquitoes do not like smoke, that could lead them away...

Please, all-mighty Jorb !

As they say in game of thrones, kill them with fire.

Good idea!

Would be nice.

Possibly it could extend the burn-time of the torch a little (extra fuel and such)...

+1 this could pave the way for the introduction of moths too.

At first I read that as burn mosques with a torch. WHEW

[delsus]

So much QOL it would be.

Would be a nice way to mitigate the swarms of the little buggers.

Bug repellent. Made in a cauldron using new herb feverfew. Unfortunate side effect is it makes it harder to catch moths, ladybirds, dragonflies and lightening bugs. But when bug repellent is applied you are safe from midges for four hours per application.

Feverfew is also possible to make into a tonic to use on infected wounds. Doesn't cure, only temporarily keeps them from getting worse. Not hugely effective but easier to get than ancient roots...
