## Resource

Britain’s gearing up for a massive flying ant invasion—no armies, just swarms of winged ants taking flight in a natural mating frenzy dubbed “Flying Ant Day.” Experts say warmer, rainier weather is fueling an earlier, bigger-than-usual event, with southern cities like Cornwall and Kent likely to see the first swarms. These are mostly male ants and queens from black garden colonies, with queens reaching up to 15mm. Urban heat islands mean city swarms kick off sooner. It’s a wild, natural spectacle—and yes, it’s happening. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
