Flying Ant Day

[dejavuatbtn]

Damn things have started coming out of the ground in Westdene this morning. Hot day with the windows shut

Not quite flying ant day here today (although there were flying ants - landing on my car windscreen as we left Faversham for Narnia, or was it vice versa?). No, it is flying everything day. Mrs T has just re-homed two flying beetles. We have christened them George and Ringo (as they were a bit shit).

Wash your mouth out!

Could be the day in Portslade. The seagulls are going through their warm up excercises. Several recently hatched specimins spotted.

Plenty about during my walk from Portslade to Southwick this morning.

Flying ant day here in Seaford

 

[Bold Seagull]

Mental just off Boundary Road. Like some kind of biblical plague*.








*the ants rather than Boundary Road per se.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Last night in Petworth, swarms of them, all gone this morning. Where do they all GO? I watched them on my shed, thousands of them being marched to the top of the shed by normal/ working ants so they had the highest point to take off, fascinating, I have never seen that before. My fascination did not last long though as after a couple of minutes I was being attacked by ants crawling all over me.

Yep. Ants everywhere and the seagulls having a FEAST in Vale Park. Later there will be drunk seagulls. Drunk mental seagulls (which sounds like an Albion awaydays spin off Facebook group)

Lots of the blighters in the back garden, had to close the patio door.

As a kid in Southwick, I remember many instances of flying ant swarms.

But up here in the Midlands, never seen them.

Must be coming over from that there Europe.

That's like "Maybugs". Whenever I mention or explain them to friends from other parts of the country they think I'm mental. Turns out they're a southern thing.

Now buried under a pile of ant powder in my garden but valiantly digging their way out

Certainly is all round Victoria Road

 

[WATFORD zero]

I can confirm sightings in Dyke Road, Hangelton, Roedean, Rottingdean, Peacehaven, Lewes, Withdean

(been out for a little bit of a drive this morning - should've put the roof up, still picking them out of my teeth )

 

[Eeyore]

Can't have a cheeky fag outside my gaff at the top of Queen's Park. Flying acts causing CHAOS. Errant seagulls will be the next challenge.

 

[MattBackHome]

Southern Cross, Victoria Park completely SWARMED today.

 

[nail-Z]

I just saw my first one.

Yep.

One.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

They're even showing up on the bloody radar!

Swarming around Falmer Campus today, Seagulls feasting. Gonna be some sore heads in the morning.

Drowned in the sea if this morning’s dip is anything to go by.
