During the summer ants can take to the skies in a mass emergence usually on warm, humid and windless days.”

Sounds like this is not unusual.

I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

Only a matter of time before they have open bloody gang warfare with the murder hornets. Wear a mask! It will protect you from ants, murder hornets, Trump voters, and falling pianos! Because, Science(tm)!

The queens from an established nest, flying with their mates in search of a prime location to begin a new nest.
Texas, home to a vast number of FIRE ANTS are frequently seen flying to begin this cycle. Not unusual in the least.

From the year that brought us murder hornets, famine-inducing locusts and the global coronavirus pandemic, comes the latest airborne scourge: a 50-mile-wide swarm of flying, and mating, ants.

Are people still allowing the press to scare them with such nonsense?

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Oh great! Now the little bastards will be coming at us from the sky too. Who taught them to fly?

[Bob434]

what’s all the panic about? It’s not like the swarm was 51 miles wide or anything

We just got over an infeststion of stink bugs INSIDE the house. And we’ve had flying ants in the past (carpenter ants!). Had our share of Ladybugs too. Each spring it’s love bugs. I call’em that because all they do is fornicate...and have little mite-looking babies by the thousands that smear red if you squash’em.

Don’t even get me started on yard weeds. God seems to give us a new variety every year. I thank Him for His bountiful gifts...then I Round’em Up.

[subterfuge]

What? No scary, but catchy name?

DEATH ANTS!!!

[katana]

Are the locusts next? Fire from the sky? A plague of frogs? When do the monkeys launch from the castle in Chappaqua?

[hal ogen]

Obviously, President Trump’s fault. Impeach!!!

[minnesota_bound]

I had about 100 ants on my kitchen counter a week ago and in my microwave....
100 degrees outside then.
