So what have I got in my (unheated) greenhouse?

Quite a few little flies, about the size of ants, but with little
silvery wings.

I shall remove the hardening tomatoes and fly-spray the little beggars
fifthwith.

Why? Wouldn't be best to find out whether they're harmful first?

I've not had them before (and never missed them, either)

I certainly don't need the little critters and I don't need extra
pollinators. They don't look big enough to eat greenfly or slugs, so
they're toast.

If you're about to kill every insect you don't recognise, or can't be
bothered to identify, perhaps gardening isn't the ideal hobby for you?
