He's a bit off the mark, then, as it's males and females. It would be a bit pointless, when you think about it, if only females went flying about looking for a mate as there would be no ant fellas up there. There would be a lot of frustrated would-be-queens and no new colonies.  |
Think you are correct Westender, must have misheard, but definitely the poor males dye off after this exercise ..... typical .. lol
