There was a swarm of winged ants a couple of days ago. These specimen, wich I presume to be males, seem too tired to fly even when manipulated (are they supposed to die now?). I have no idea of the species or even if they are indeed males. Thank you, Joaquim Gaspar Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [143.1Kb] |
