I remember going in an ambulance with my mum once during flying ant season. They really like to swarm on ambulances sometimes. Got weird looks when I said I wouldn't kill them and asked for a cup and paper to put one outside that had come in A n E.

I heard about this on BBC News too. Fortunately, I didn't get trapped in a flying ant-swarm. It's an amazing sight to see which only occurs once a year in the UK.

I'd love to see a proper swarm, from a good distance of course. Only ever see tiny ones and lived in the UK all my life.

Is this one of sints from Bible just instead of cocroaches we got ants? Also UK instead of Egypt? Looks nature is really angry on us. Is this anytime before reported?

Maybe it is just 5G? :)

It sounds crazy. Luckily, not something that was an issue over here in London.
