Why We're About To Be Hit With A Swarm Of Flying Ants

In the most 2020 move yet, we're about to be hit by a swarm of flying ants so large that they can be seen from space. Yes, really. In fact, over the weekend, the UK Met Office confused the swarm with rain showers. It's not raining in London, Kent or Sussex, but our radar says otherwise...? The radar is actually picking up a swarm of #flyingants across the southeast ? During the summer ants can take to the skies in a mass emergence usually on warm, humid and windless days #flyingantday pic.twitter.com/aMF6RxR943 — Met Office (@metoffice) July 17, 2020 Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Collie Ennis, Zoology Research Associate at Trinity College Dublin and founder and host of The Critter Shed Podcast explained what on earth is going on.
