Do they really serve an ecological purpose?
The flying ants are back, and no we’re not talking about some band you’ve not heard of. Apparently all of these ants have been hiding out underground in their eggs, and now that conditions are right, they’ve all come out to have disgusting ant-sex in front of us.
Have they no shame?

What's the story with the flying ants infestation in Ranelagh?!

Going on Twitter and searching any town in Dublin alongside the phrase ‘flying ants’ has reliably informed us that there are swarms of the little buggers all over the city, getting freaky with one another.

So, yes, the ants are both disgusting as well as pretty much everywhere, but thankfully all of the males will soon be dead and the females will retreat back underground to lay their eggs before we do this all again about a year from now.
We had to admire Anne Kelly Doyle’s stoic take on today’s plague.
The flying Ants are out #sandymount
