Around 4am there was light rain, and around 10am i noticed swarm of ants flying in my garden, after passing with my hand thru the swarm, i noticed all ants are males, but when i came inside, i noticed in mirror that there was queen on my shoulder, she still has her wings and didn't lay eggs, but she was in swarm for sure.
