Flying Ant Day

[forrest]

Can confirm that they are on parade here in Haywards heath as well. Think I may of murdered a fewnon the walk home from work. Had a few dive bomb me in return to try and avenge the death of their brothers via the soles of my shoes. Couldn't really avoid them to be honest.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Not seen them yet today in the Oval area. I saw a set of early-birthers a couple of weeks ago, but ideally that's not the full batch of some-winged-beasts. I love them. When I cycle home I'd like to have goggle-screen-wiping spectacles and some mouth and nostril netting to prevent the beefy blighters disappearing even briefly inside me or blinding me. I reckon the queen of these ants must be around 3-foot in length, and I'd like to interrupt her nest to see her for 24 hours firing out innumerous bairn and having her drones report back with developments from the world that will infect her dreams for the next couple of months until superhot day 2 sometime in late August.

 

[Soton Seagull]

In Ipswich for work for a couple of days; town centre was heaving with the odd flying ant fellows so it's looking rather widespread today.

 

[Seagull by the Sea]

Gazillions of them in Shoreham, literally appeared from nowhere and all over my fencing and driveway

 

[Albumen]

Tonnes on the seafront. The seagulls are loving it.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It was thick with them on Dyke Road this evening, crawling on the pavement, landing on people, flying through the air into people's faces.
It was quite comical watching people walking along the road, waving their arms about trying to bat the ants away (myself included). It was like a plague of locusts.

Hundreds appeared in my bathroom two days ago. I slaughtered them. Where do they come from and why does it happen?

Temp driven, hits around 27c/80f and they're off, often a bit earlier in June, hottest day since Sept it is then
