Flies around Sandyford

backboiler · 2008-07-22 17:26:58

I've just left Stillorgan Luas and there's a decent sized swarm of unusual flies about. They're also in and around the Leopardstown racecourse area. Has an invasion begun? ;-)

Holy crap, I noticed loads of flies at the Balally stop of the Luas, bigger than normal flies with large wings.

You sure they weren't flying ants? They're everywhere today.

Got a few stuck in my hair earlier. Serves me right for wearing too much gel I suppose

Definitely flying ants. They were everywhere. Not just sandyford. I reckon it's the humidity.

+1 Stillorgan was infested with flying ants. Especially in our back garden... I ended up boiling loads of them to death.

//Yes!

And the phoenix park and surrounding areas. It's the time of the year when they swarm and disperse to start new colonies. Happens same time every year - I cycle to work so I notice these things (and you quickly learn to close your mouth while cycling unless you want a free protein packed dinner).
