Flies!

Postby smokynuk » Tue Apr 26, 2011 3:30 pm

Yeserday (Monday) morning i went out the back garden and to my surprise there were literally hundreds of flies. Never seen this sort of thing before and talked to a few people today who confirmed it wasnt just in my back garden, but apparently around different parts of the town and they appear to be swarming today as well.

Anyone got an explanation to this? I understand its summer and the weather is pretty good recently and flies DO appear, but i cant remember a previous occasion where so many appear all at the same time like this. Or is this just the time of year for flies?? :?

A friend mentioned this to me just today - she hardly went out the house at the weekend as they were so bad at times. She thought they were perhaps flying ants?! I don't know much about them, but apparently swarming is very common and short-lived as they do it just to breed then die off.
