Ant Swarm

<< < (2/2)

BeeMaster2:
One of the neat things about termites, around here any way, is that they all seem to swarm on the same day. A couple of years ago, I was out here on the farm working outside. I started getting itchy and looked up from what I was doing. The first thing that I noticed was that it looked like there was a lot of smoke in the air in every direction. This was just after a neighbor had started a fire that got out of control and burned 1/2 acre of my trees and had to be put out by the forestry division. The smoke wasn't from fire. It was termites. Millions of them. In every direction. Later that day I talked to a friend who lived 15 miles away and he observed the same thing. The next day I talked to a friend who lived 60 miles away and he also saw them at the same time.
The itchy feeling that I felt was from the termites bumping up against me.
