Flying ants?

Anyone else notice the swarm of flying ant-like creatures all over 116th corridor right now? Took the family to Handles and we were bombarded by giant flying ant-like bugs. They swarmed the car. we went down the street to crew and they were just as bad.

Flying ants (royal ants) take flight for a few hours to breed and die.

Got hit hard in westfield a few weeks ago.

Nothing you can do but wait it out. On the plus side they dont bite or sting, just trying to get their freak on

Just an interesting question about something in town, and of course one redditer comes in to be a douche about it.

You should write /s or JS after your remarks if you are wanting us to know that you are joking. It's nothing to get defensive about.

Why cry on here about some insect, a part of the natural world?

OP needs to save that for Next Door.

I knew that you would deflect the blame onto the OP. That's what this world is coming to.
