Flying ants

[Gavin_Leahy_Block]

Saw a bunch of them this evening, on my way home from work in Limerick.

There were plenty in Buckinghamshire yesterday but none today. Guess the life cycle isn't long.

[Something Fishy]

we had them yesterday. stacks all over the place.

A few about today down here in Hastings. I still can't quite accept their existence, despite 41 years of seeing them every year. I seem to forget ants are sometimes capable of flight as I go between August and June, and always react with a mighty "WHOA! ANTS WITH WINGS! MUT-ANTS!" and then thank grud it's not spiders every July.

2000ad should do a comic strip about mankind's struggle against ants. Best make them giant ants, to grab the attention. It could like a war against ants.

jus' sayin'

How ridiculous! As if 2000AD would ever print such a far-fetched story..

Yesterday was my blight.
Crushed millions of them I swear. My lawn was crawling.
The bastards have wrecked the pointing on my slabs so I used some Chem warfare on their asses.
Chalk one up for the Humans.

Saw proper, though sparse, clouds of flying ants today. No birds feasting on them. Ants landing on people here and there, including myself. Had dinner in the garden this evening and wasn't troubled by ants at all.

I wonder if this is the reason I've been seeing absolutely loads of birds around today. I went into town and they were just everywhere. Far more than I've ever seen.

[I, Cosh]

I still don't believe in them.

[O Lucky Stevie!]

They've all deplaned in Stevie's back yard today.

In Adelaide.

South Australia.

i spent years destroying the colonies in my garden (apparently it takes 10 years to establish them).

My gardens were once covered. no more.

I also put lots of bird feeding stuff out and get gardens full of birds which helps a lot.
