Flying ants!
We are having our third invasion of flying ants this month!
I'm sure that years ago we only saw the masses of them on one day a year. I hate them, they seem to get everywhere ..... I even find them in the washing when I'm about to iron it.
You can't even have a cuppa outdoors when they are in full flight as you end up continually fishing them out of your cup!

They are a nuisance, aren't they? You might find this link interesting, Mags.It does say swarming occurs after heavy Summer rains.

Re: Flying ants!
Am very lucky where I live now-never seen any ants at all. Where I previously lived, remember coming home from work and thought someone had painted my front windows black-they were covered in ants
Rang my brother, (he hadn't moved to Derbyshire then) to come and help and I sat in the car till he arrived.....just couldn't cope with them

He was serious, but I wouldn't want to eat any of them
