They're back... Have you noticed the swarms of flying ants?
PA Wire / PA Images PA Wire / PA Images / PA Images
EVERY SUMMER FOR a day or two, you can’t go outside for more than five minutes without coming back looking like a beekeeper, because of the incredible volume of flying ants that are moving around outside.
Actually, even indoors isn’t safe unless you live somewhere like the hatch from LOST.
Those little flies will get in any way that they can. If you haven’t seen any, you can expect to in the next couple of days because it’s about time for the ants to mate.
People on Twitter have been sharing photos of the creepy event which luckily rarely happens outside of July.
Whoops!

What’s the point in nice weather if you have to spend it covered in bugs?

There’s always someone who enjoys days like this though.
