Do you get them in this country? Because I swear that things have suddenly started to evacuate the earth!  eeek:

Yes - and how!

On a particular date previously arranged between them and god, they ALL fly out of the holes in the ground at exactly the same time.

Last year when the weather was somewhat better, I saw them all blitzing out and when we went for a drive later the same thing was happening all over the countryside.   By the next day they had all vanished again.   ...and I forgot all about them again, until now.

It must be some kind of party day.

Really quite freaky! All gone now. The holes must be drowned!  eveilgrin:

Can you please explain how you drown a hole exactly? Since, first and probably foremost, a hole in inanimate, it cannot be drowned since drowning is the act of expiring through excessive consumption of water in places not designed for its presence i.e. the breathing apparatus.

The ants (flying or crawling or even levitating) can be drowned as can crane flies (before they're flying - it's a bit tricky with a water pistol and tends to make a mess thus aggravating the shit out of SWTSMBO), but not the holes!

O.K.?

Don't be embarassed Snoops - I probably am a bit on the grumpy side as it happens.

Went out earlier for a general mooch about with SWTSMBO on our bikes. Cycled away from where we'd parked up the car, discovered the local RNLI were doing an 'open day' thing with various activities including a bunch of wackos on those Pro Jump thingies  eeek:

God was obviously not in a good mood, 'cos the heavens opened. It PISSED it down!! Thunder, lightning, horizontal raindrops that would fill an eggcup on their own, the bleedin' lot.

What were we wearing? Jeans and T-shirt! Talk about wet!

So, yes probably a bit grumpy.

Just ignore them. They only buzz around for 12 hours, their wings drop off, and then they go back to their nest.
Summat to do with the Queen ant or summat.
