Show Marriage Flight of Ants. Peoplo living along tho River Stour, at Sandwich, England, were tho othor day treated to a wonderful sight. Suddenly Sud-denly tho stream, tho shores and the streets of tho town bocamo covered with flying ants that seemed to bo dropping llko hall from tho clouds. Tho phenomenon was a marrlago flight of ants, such as always takes placo In tho summer. Tho ants thus warming wero young queens and winged males. In theso marrlago flights countless millions of ants tako part, yet tho nolso of their tiny vibrating vibrat-ing wings is scarcely as loud as tho hum of a boo. So frail aro their donso colnmns that a llttlo puff of wind will dlsporso thorn out of sight. Comparatively few of the myriads which como forth from their nests ilnto tho air live to enter a nest again. Practically all the males dlo, lonely and shelterless. Tho surviving queens found new communities, or, entering old nests, are at once taken care of by the workers, and start new colonies in tholr old nursery. |
