Must be nearly here. Amazing how they coordinate and all come out on the same day, whereas I couldn't organize a pea soup in a brewery canteen. |  | | |  |

I think the actual day varies by area. I live by the coast and it's amazing how the seagulls know, flock to the locality and hoover up their annual feast. |  | | |

What people don't see or appreciate, is the amount of effort that goes into planning the event. |  |

I used to hate that day when I was still working in London and commuting by bike. I swear I got most of my calories for the day through inhaling clouds of the little bastards during my 45 minute ride |  |

It was ladybirds swarming at the cricket yesterday, getting in on the act. |  |
| Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

Last place I lived there must have been a ladybird nest(s) just outside our window for the last 3 years.
Around March, when it warmed up a bit, you'd suddenly have dozens of them swarming around. They also seemed to like to clump together into corners or door frames in some sort of black and red sex-pile-on. I quite liked them. [Post edited 11 Jul 13:12]

‘Black and red sex-pile on’.

Please remember that flying ants have feelings too. |  |

You are indeed the Sage:
"While ants don't experience emotions in the same way humans do, they do exhibit behaviors that suggest they can feel basic positive and negative sensations, like pleasure and pain. Their behavior in response to certain stimuli suggests they can differentiate between favorable and unfavorable situations." | | | |

I just carried out a minute inspection of the driveway and patio and other antsy places and not a single ant to be seen.
My wife won't let me kill wasps because she says they are expert pollinators.
Fortunately she has no empathy for ants since they got into the sugar. | | | |
