These winged ants, called alates, are the future queens and males of the colony, preparing for their nuptial flight. Once conditions are just right—usually warm, humid weather after rain—they'll take to the skies to mate. The males will soon die, and the fertilized queens will shed their wings and search for a place to start a new colony. It's a fascinating glimpse into one of nature’s oldest rituals! #ants #amazing #nature

#asknostr Seriously thinking about leaving the EU in the medium term, the trend towards an orwellian 1984 style environment seems to be increasing. Which countries would you recommend to consider to move to?

#asknostr Does #nostr need more relays? I have the capacity to run a big fast #relay. Should I do it? Is there a need for it?

#gm #nostr Grateful I have nature so close to my home. Always lifts me up when I'm feeling down 😊
