Delta residents are freaking out – FLYING ANTS
July 4th saw Independence Day for Americans and we saw a different type of independence, ants liberating themselves form the nests that they have lived in for months. While they may be a sign of the season, they are an enormously undesirable symbol nevertheless. This week, residents throughout Delta have been dealing with visits from strange insects – flying ants. And on Wednesday, the situation was particularly eerie. Clouds of airborne ants were spotted in numerous areas throughout the city, including Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta. Flying ants were even reported in places like Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and Richmond. Delta’s unofficial, official ant day in the city is the pinnacle of the ant mating season, when winged queens and winged males fly, mate, and the females find a new locations. Virtuous day to be a flying ant, fabulous day for most birds that find ants delicious, although the site of ants in the air is somewhat frightening, as these are not red hot fire breathing ants as they are mostly pavement ants which are nearly harmless. Not only did the bugs fill the sky, they recklessly fly into anything and everything.
