Rupert_Baehr Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 That's news! I wasn't aware you were getting flying ants this year. I thought all the ant colonies were going to be matelots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Peaches* Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 They were all over when I was walking home yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 They were all over on my way home, the air was full of them. The normal ants seem to be very abundant today as well. I tried to sit on the kerb, but it was difficult to find a spot devoid of ants, flying or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Go report sightings at http://www.societyofbiology.org/newsandevents/news/view/451 Cheers, I will do. I looked out of our kitchen window yesterday evening and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Vast clouds rising up from our driveway. Some were coming out of a big crack we have in our drive and some were gathering and flying from the edges. Amazing, just clouds of them pouring out...then ten minutes later they were all gone. A bit icky, but still fascinating and amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My lawns absolutely covered in them, getting ready to fly. Together with little mounds of earth they've all dug up. Went out to observe these amazing creatures, and the worker ants were crawling all over me in moments. Remembered that scene from Indiana Jones 4, and got myself back indoors in no time.

The crack in the drive has been acquiring little mounds of earth for the past few week but I didn't think much of it. Last night it was as if Hitchcock's The Birds had been written for ants. I'm a bit weird, I love spiders, crocodiles, sharks, bugs things like that so I was just so happy to see this mass flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
