Thats alot of ants just be sure they don't get near any T's you might be keeping

 

[leiurus]

Yes, but they can't enter in my house, no doors and windows are open . Do you have some days like this with flying ants?
Dom

 

[Navaros]

Awesome. Wonder if that is one of the mating flights.

 

[leiurus]

Yes, these ants are going to make some colonies but the birds ate the majority of them

They make great feeders! Some T slings will eat them. And my red-ear sliders absolutely love them.

 

[leiurus]

You do have ants rain? I feed my assassin bug with them.

That is cool, we have the same thing but in a lot less numbers

We had huge numbers in Cardiff yesterday, i was walking home from work and it seemed like every colony was releasing its mating flights at the same time, there were thousands everywhere. I got into my house and had to literaly brush hundreds off my clothes. I caught a few mated females (ones that had shed their wings) so i can start a few ant colonies.

Evry April we get swarms of flying ants. The widows and jumping spiders cant get enough of them.
