Now having spent my school years in a hot country, I am used to all sorts of ground-hugging and aerial creepy-crawlies, including several thousand large flying ants coming into my bedroom through a gap in the blocks of the roof on my bedroom one year (!).
That said, I have hardly ever seen a flying ant in this part of the world. Yes, little red or black critters marching head-to-tail around the edge of the lawn, or a nest while capping turf in the peat bog in July years ago, but not the winged stage.
Yet this year, there are hundreds of the blighters, just caught this one contending with the gauze lid on the firepit we had out yesterday for a marshmallow toast:
It's a sign, not sure of what yet, though...
I read recently of clouds of them across GB big enough to be visible on satellite imagery, so: what gives?

It was just the sound of Spain in the evening. Add that to the smell of Hibiscus and Jasmine and it was all pretty glorious

Here it is, cunningly disguised:

Surprised myself that I saw it before the zoom (Particularly as I couldn't read that joke board the other day).
