"i hear its flying ant day down south... i use to hate the buggers when i lived down south... so how bad is it?"

Spooky.... I just stepped outside and wondered why all the flying ants... And lo and behold I turn to fab to find out what's been going on.

So yeah... Pretty bad. Hopefully they aren't bringing a plague of anything else with them.

There’s loads of them here today - fascinating little creatures although I am not observing any social distancing between them nor face masks.....

You usually see land gulls or black headed gulls flying high in the thermals at this time of the year going around in tight circles which are often associated with the gulls catching flying ants.

Had thousands in my kitchen last year. It was horrible - they were everywhere.

Had a few in my kitchen last week (less than a hundred) but hopefully no more this year.

Swarms of them here in Coventry.

This happens one day a year, exactly at the same time, all over the land. How on earth do they all know when to take flight at the same time?

Fascinating.

Normally I hate it, but this year it's just nice to see a planned event going ahead.

Not many ants here in South London. But I noticed a lot of bees today; the Oregano in my garden started to flower and added to the existing bloom of Sage, Lavender and Roses.

Had a nice time trying to scare them away but it was pointless lol, so I sat back, popped a can of beer and watch them fly and play around.
