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’. Sounds like a few QPR away ends I’ve been in. |  | |  |

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." |  | |  |

Annual flying ant day on 18:27 - Jul 11 with 420 views | Pindarus | 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. |  | |  |
