  1. Another #FlyingAntDay, and this time, some of them actually have wings.

  2. Here in SE England, we appear to be having a second #flyingantday
    It is also sultry, and not in a good way :/

  3. #flyingAntDay doesn’t seem to have come to my back garden, but we do seem to have an awful lot of grasshoppers, which the blackbird and magpies are devouring with aplomb! 🦗🦗🦗🐦‍⬛

  4. Noticed loads of seagulls circling earlier.

    "That's usually the sign of #FlyingAntDay but I haven't seen any," I told my wife.

    "Seagulls' calendar is probably wrong," she replied.

    No. Just spotted a sudden frenzy of ant activity along the path in the garden and now the flying ants are emerging. The seagulls knew.

  5. It's starting to look a lot like #FlyingAntDay - but none of the queens have any wings. I wonder if the weather came a bit too soon for them?

    I do see a few winged males, though, so I'm sure they'll be crawling around in my hair soon enough.

  6. Flying ant day is upon us, get those windows closed! #FlyingAntDay

  7. A small consolation of extra time in Tucson is getting to see what the wild queens have been up to, 1.5 weeks after mating (+based on weather possibly more swarms have happened). Lots of digging!

  8. So, I keep two separate video channels going, one for academic purposes, one for entertainment purposes. And all I really want to say is, the ant videos are getting far less attention than the cat videos. Overall, that's okay, but I do think people are missing out if they don't take time to watch ants now and again. There are tiny dramas unfolding everywhere.

  9. Some of the coolest footage I got from the desert leafcutter mating swarm yesterday. Reposting because I can't seem to fix an issue with yesterday's post.

  10. It's Flying Ant Day here, so remember:

    Don't tread on an ant; he's done nothing to you
    And there might come a day when your entire ecosystem is destroyed because all the ants and insects are extinct

  11. It's #FlyingAntDay today in the UK apparently. Not enjoying waiting for the bus home!

    Happy belated flying ant day from Milton Keynes.

    I got ready to take a short walk only to find loads of ants swarming outside my front door. Ran back in and shook one flying ant off in my bathroom.

    Put a bait station out, in case that helps but may have to wait for that walk.

    Ugh.
