Here in Dartmouth, in the Lake Banook, Glenwwod Ave, Penhorn Dr. area, they were out in full force this past Sat/Sun. Literally in swarms! My understanding, could very well be wrong, is that these are the new ant Queens? I'm sure our experts will give us the correct info about this phenomenon.
   
  Thanks!!

pictures of the swarms certainly remind me of flying ants which I have seen 
in large numbers in Bear River, Annapolis Co. about this time of year much 
to the delight of the migrating Common Nighthawks, although it is usually 
about mid August when the peak of these birds pass through the valley. A 
large hatching of flying ants can be very dramatic. JET
