Hirdster   10 #1 Posted July 11, 2014 Looks like the flying ants are using the cars in S8 as a stop over for the night. Not sure if there is a Queen flying ant but 1 or 2 of them are huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Alcoblog   10 #10 Posted July 17, 2014 The car park at B&Q at Hillsborough was over three foot deep (nearly) in ants a short while ago. One tried to peck out my left eye, but with a glancing blow to the mandible with a bag of recently purchased tile grout I deftly (and abruptly) ended it's avionic career in the flying corps ('flying corps' very quickly becoming 'not flying corpse').
