Ikke helt. For pludselig var himlen over vores hus fuld af ivrige, skrigende måger. Godt nok bor vi tæt på vandet, men...
Not quite because all of a sudden the sky over our house was full of screaming seaguls. We do live close to the seaside but.....
Hvad var der dog på færde?
Jo, det var så blevet Store-Myre-Flyve-Dag. Den dag hvor samtlige flyvende myrer kollektivt beslutter, at nu er det tid at lette for at parre sig. De kravler op på og op ad alt, der rækker mod himlen, inden de tager afsæt. Parringen foregår i luften og efter hannen betaler med sit liv for fornøjelsen.
Hunnen finder en ny myretue, beboet af arbejder-myrer, som vil acceptere at arbejde for hende.
For mågerne er det Store-ædegilde-dag
What was going on?
Oh yes, it was the sensational day when all ants with wings lift themselves up into the air. Everywhere on every plant or tree you see ants climbing and later taking off to maid in the air. After having had the fun, the male die and the female wanders off to find a new place with lots of workers to make her life easy.
This is why the seaguls are having a party too.

I think there was a movie about something like this. And I don't think it ended well. Hope you guys haven't been carried away!
