Flying ants.

Does anyone outside of england get these little bastards?
There's an absolute plague of them for about a couple of
days in summer, and suddenly they all disappear. I don't
like them AT ALL.

Nah, they're slightly-larger-than-average ants with wings.
When it's hot, they all apppear for one day in the year
(today, actually in my hometown) and annoy the shizzle out
of everyone, sometimes biting. They are officially shit.

It's all part of the grand cycle of life. I had the goddamn
things coming up my bathtub drain once. I'd find them in the
tub and all over the walls in the morning. I believe certain
species do this to establish new nests.

yeah, i think when a hive's population gets too large to
sustain, a second queen is born and she leaves to form a new
nest... taking a big chunk of hive #1 with her. creating a
mass exodus.

Bleugh, that sounds rather unpleasant. Cycle of life or not,
i hope you murdered the insectile bastards. I once found a
wasp's nest in the shed... my emotions swung between extreme
pleasure and extreme fear in exterminating it.

Man must be master of his bathtub and shed, or else the
terrorist insects have won.

I imagine all wasps in turbans, carrying miniature copies of
the koran. There is nothing more satisfying than
exterminating a swarm of tiny striped camelfuckers with a
can of Raid.

I would like to investigate whether said ants have an
allergy to gasoline and a naked flame.

Off topic here, but i like your avatar. Also, i visited
bern, switzerland recently, and it is the most expensive and
most boring place in the entire world.

yes a friend of mind kept a vacuum in his room so he could
suck them up to their linty doom nightly. The vacuum smelled
bad because of the ladybug dead bodies inside of it.

Aye, exactly. I had to venture out into the plague today to
buy some cigs, and it was bloody stressful. Wasps, moths,
daddy-long-legs and flying ants: i loathe them.

My memories of bern are blurry, as i bought a lot of cheap
beer from a coop in the town centre, drank it all and walked
around marvelling at how expensive everything was. However,
i visited a cheese museum in gruyere. It was very very
smelly.

Woah, woah! So you're saying "exterminate brown people"
essentially?

But back to the ants - it's nature, it's one day. Ants are
the bee's knees (see what I did there).

If one species had to be exinct, I'd choose wasps. But not
necissarily just middle eastern wasps.

Oh lordy, turn on your sarcasm radar.

Also: spiders DEFINITELY have a leg-surplus. There should be
some sort of international spider-boycott going on.

No way man! Spiders eat flies and wasps. Without spiders
we'd be overrun with bastard insects.

Also, they might be aliens. Scientists can't find where
spiders evolved from. It seems they just appeared (there's
nothing else on earth like them), so they might have landed
on a meteor. I think that's fucking wicked!

It's funny that this was brought up, because at my work
recently we've been having swarms of big red flying Termites
that look just like ants, and they land on people and
generally annoy the shit out of them as they walk up to the
building... little bastards...
