Came to work today and saw something in a corner of the building in the office area I work at alone.

Turns out it's a small cluster of pavement ants from the outside coming into the inside of the building. On closer inspection, I noticed winged ones, while the workers were holding them down.

They haven't flown yet (although one was flying, I have doubts that it really mated), and I can't imagine they would fly inside anyways. Is it wishful thinking that they would have nuptial flight inside of a small office building?

This is in south east Illinois.

The ones I see in the pictures are males.

I second this.

Similarly, why hope for thunderstorms and flights when you can just incorporate after dinner walks into your routine.
