Last evening in the garden there were three seperate garden ant's nests that exploded with the new flying queens taking off for new colonies.Fascinating to watch ,they were co- ordinated within minutes of each other,the garden was full of flying ants, the conditions must have been perfect,warm with a slight beeze.Within 20 minutes all had gone.

I've never seen any!
These nests were all out doors,under the paving slabs.I love watching "mini-Beasts".There is also a huge big spider that lurks under the outside step,if you "tickle" her silky web she comes rushing out to "Attack".Great stuff.

*runs out of thread screaming* You took that too far by the way!
when i was a kid we called it "ant day"
We had lots too yesterday evening and absolutely hundreds of hover flies!
It was very sticky and warm so I think you're right Katty the conditions were perfect!

We have loads of hover flies today too,they love my Dahlias.
They love my cosmos!
My OH and I were lay on the couch last Summer one Sunday Afternoon, we both dozed off for an hour, and when we woke up the whole window ledge was full of them.....they were BIG, all up the Curtains and everywhere.....took ages to get rid of them!!!!
My cats go barmy when anything like that is flying around. All 3 of them go after it, so funny to watch! Their heads etc all moving exactly the same, at the same time. One time Storm was chasing this fly around the window and he splatted it with his front paw, dragged it down the window pane and ATE IT before I even blinked!!!
They invaded inside my patio doors 2 weeks ago....I freaked!!
I bloody hate them!
