Wilson makes a gaffe

Wilson examined the diminutive insect closely, watched over protectively by its proud parents. 

'Hello little… er, thing.' he said by way of introduction, before turning to Billi and asking, 'Can it do any tricks?'

Billi bristled angrily, but Polly pretended not to notice this social gaffe and asked W whether he would take a group photograph of their whole family that she and Billi could hang in the hive.
