WBUR has the definitive review of Monday's area-wide aerial ant orgy, including an interview with a myrmecologist who thinks the ants were a species known as "Labor Day ants" because of when they typically swarm - although still unresolved is the question of why so many of them decided to swarm all at once across a broad area.

I'm betting the extremely pleasant weather for a change put them in the mood for love.

The coming of the ManhattAnts
CNN reports on an invasive species of ants that are taking Manhattan away from the native ants and that could eventually reach Maine, both through their own aerial love sessions and by being transported with cargo, which is how they apparently got to New York.
The good news is that the ants are not biters or berserkers.
