The ants are flying, at least around here, in Surrey/Sussex. Is it
the same all over the country?

Ants flew last night in Northants.


Judging by all the replies, not as mysterious as I'd thought, then,
but just responding to local temperatures, maybe?

Still a bit magic, though, all those males off after just a few
queens....

Scottish nipping ants.

Third to last paragraph (with no wind either...), I think I'd be alarmed if
an ant fell on me as I died, too.

Unfortunate choice of phrasing.
