Flying Ant Day

I friggin' hate flying ant day when queen ants emerge from the nest to begin their nuptial flight. Queens will fly for a distance, mate, then drop to the ground where they lose their wings and attempt to start a new colony. This particular ant does not eat wood and does not pose a threat to structures, but they are a nuisance.
