Flying Ant Day 2025

 

Hot, Humid and still...



 
This year in Bournville it is 9th July - lots of ants around Selly Oak railway station.

More, landing on me even, near the Methodist Church

 

Hot and humid today - I guess the boys and girls might be ready to go early July - and then just wait for the triggering conditions.

  



Or there may be more than one "brood" or species and I sometimes catch a different one.
