'Intense' Flying Ant Day on its way - when we can expect it
'Intense' Flying Ant Day on its way - when we can expect it Millions of winged ants are set to fill the skies in synchronised swarms Specialists are predicting Britain will soon see huge swarms of flying ants, thanks to an ideal mix of sporadic wet and warm conditions moving across the UK. Referred to as Flying Ant Day, the yearly mating flight, when millions of winged ants fill the air in coordinated swarms, could be among the most notable in recent years. Despite its title, the phenomenon...
Goethe never knew this 40-million-year-old ant was hidden in his collection
Goethe never knew this 40-million-year-old ant was hidden in his collection Goethe’s centuries-old amber collection has revealed hidden fossil insects—including an extinct ant now providing unprecedented clues about life in ancient forests. - Date: - June 4, 2026 - Source: - Friedrich-Schiller-Universitaet Jena - Summary: - Scientists examining amber from Goethe’s personal collection discovered three hidden fossil insects, including an extinct ant preserved in extraordinary detail.
Lisa Armstrong finally cuts ties with Ant McPartlin and 'last link' of marriage
Lisa Armstrong finally cuts ties with Ant McPartlin and 'last link' of marriage Exclusive: Lisa Armstrong is over the moon after accepting an offer for the former marital home which she received in the divorce from Ant McPartlin Make-up artist Lisa Armstrong has been left delighted after finally severing all ties with ex husband Ant McPartlin - after selling the former marital home. The lavish five-bed west London property was the “last link” to her ex with whom she had a troubled...
Emergent control of ant learning walks using the mismatch between path-integration and visual cues
Despite their small brains, desert ants can safely navigate back to their nest after travelling hundreds of metres to find food. This ability relies on visual memories, gathered on initial Learning Walks (LWs), during which ants slowly explore the surroundings of the nest. LWs follow a clear progression: early walks are short, spiraling, and interspersed with pirouettes: brief stops during which the ant perform a visual scan.
Why do flying ants, bees and beetles keep ending up in your home – and how do you get them out humanely?
Why do flying ants, bees and beetles keep ending up in your home – and how do you get them out humanely? Experts explain what attracts bugs indoors, why some species swarm, and the best ways to usher them back outside without harming them. As someone who is squeamish about squashing bugs, any insect (beyond the usual pests such as ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes and houseflies) that visits my apartment often has me in a quandary.
Disturbing details emerge in case of mom arrested over death of 1-year-old son forced to eat roaches and ants
Disturbing details emerge in case of mom arrested over death of 1-year-old son forced to eat roaches and ants Police said that ‘every room’ of the house, where six children had been living, was ‘in disarray’ - Bookmark The detective who investigated the death of a one-year-old Georgia boy found in a home where he had apparently been left to eat roaches and ants has revealed new information about the investigation. The grim story was related to a court during a bond hearing for the child’s...
Hub-Aware Hybrid Search: Accelerating the Locally Aligned Ant Technique
arXiv:2606.06198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Finding manifold structures in noisy and high-dimensional point clouds is a challenging but important problem. In astronomical observation survey and simulation data the detection of filaments, streams (1D), walls (2D) and clusters (3D) gives rise to deeper understanding of the evolution of our universe. The Locally Aligned Ant Technique (LAAT) uses biologically inspired agents to efficiently recover faint and multidimensional structures.
Sequential multimodal sensory integration drives foraging decisions in leaf-cutting ants: Volatiles, contact cues and phytochemistry
Identifying the sensory cues that enable insects to find host plants, and understanding the neurobiology underlying their selection, provide solid foundations for developing state-of-the-art pest management strategies. Our work was aimed at identifying the main sensory cues attracting the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex ambiguus to alternative host plants in commercial willow plantations in the Lower Delta of the Parana River (Argentina), with a focus on native plant species. Eight plant species...

Beyond Static Priors: Dynamic Neural Guidance for Large-Scale Ant Colony Optimization
arXiv:2606.04039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural-guided Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) suffers from a fundamental training-inference misalignment: policies are typically trained to generate static priors (e.g., heatmaps), yet deployed to guide iterative, long-horizon search processes. In this paper, we present DyNACO, a novel framework that achieves dynamic neural guidance by periodically observing the pheromone distribution and the incumbent solution. To make DyNACO tractable at scale,...
