Wednesday at Wimbledon, flying ants swarmed the grounds, bugging both spectators and players with their shameless, incessant behavior.
This attack was not completely unexpected. “Flying Ant Day” is a regular summer occurrence in England, during which male and female ants sprout wings for a day and go searching for mates from other colonies. The horny ants create intense swarms that can get in the way of everyday chaste, human fun.
