I think I would need to swallow a few dozen to get any nutrition out of them, Merz!!!

Re: Flying ants!

There was a (short lived, thank God!) fad here in the 70s for chocolate covered ants!!! No thank you!

Think you'd need more than a few dozen Mags...maybe a bucket full

Oh my goodness Dandysmom. Even chocolate covered ones wouldn't tempt me either

Re: Flying ants!

I've only seen swarms of them once up here - they were all over the pavements! However, our summer weather up here on the west coast at least, hasn't been warm enough for them to survive!!

Re: Flying ants!

We haven't had a show yet of flying ants so don't know if it is now too late as they usually appear around here in July I too don't like them...We are also in very short supply of Wasps only seen two all year and that can't be a bad thing I hate them with a vengence....
