Queen Ant

[Aviator]

In my hustle of inspecting my potatoes farm...

I came across a colony of ants

On closer inspection, I noticed there are some insects similar to nguya which were flying around. And the ants weren't eating them as they would normally do to an intruder.

And my farmhand explained to me that these are the queens who lay ant eggs.
Apparently, it has rained too much and their den is wet. That is why they are coming out. And if you see one, then you are going to be lucky. Since I saw hundreds, nataka kuwekelea bet.
Nipewe odds.

Meffi wewe. We only have one queen per every ant colony. Go back to GHC ya Primary.

Oooops! Sorry! I take back my meffi!

When conditions are hot and humid after rain and there is minimal wind, masses of winged sexually reproducing ants or "flying ants" will leave their parent nest and take flight. The mating flights occur simultaneously in all ant nests of the particular species. The female "queen" ants will fly a long distance, during which they will mate with at least one winged male from another nest. He transfers sperm to the seminal receptacle of the queen and then dies. Once mated, the "queen" will attempt to find a suitable area to start a colony and, once found will detach her wings.

Ata sisi tumechoka kulima.

Hiyo si ni sausage fly.
They love getting into the house and smashing against bulbs. Tena they have what looks like a sting on the abdomen, but I think it is an ovipositor/penis.
They are basically harmless but don't hold them incase that thing is a sting.

Yeah,something but not English. You just might have 'created' a new language here.

Sausage flies - the males of dorylus/driver ants/safari ants/siafu.
Maybe you have seen them fly around lights when it is wet - guess looking for mates with which to start new colonies.

In my appreciation for poetry and some few works here and there I write things which coincidentally are pieces of art.

I had to pay merriam webster a visit and sew doesn't fit rather saw,for sawed or sawn.
