Even though we are technically in one of the "dry" seasons here, most afternoons it rains. Usually not a downpour - more like a little sprinkling of drops. Well, yesterday when Eric and O were picking me up it started to rain and the skies seemed more ominious then usual. We passed a coworker on the path and she said that the insects flying through the air were termites and that they mean it is really going to rain. I actually had not even noticed them flying in the air - there were a couple here and there but as we began the ride home they suddenly seemed to multiply. When we got home the deluge began and holy crap there were flying termites everywhere. Who even knows that termites fly...? All of our windows in the house are screened but you can imagine that some of the screens are a little crooked - I have never given it much thought until flying termites started flying in through the 1/4 inch gap in the screen. YIKES! Eric killed one on my head with a towel and it still feels like something is crawling on me. Once all the windows were closed they would just crash into the window trying to make there way to the light. This morning look what I found on all the outside window sills! They are the flying termite wings...I don't know how they loose their wings without dying. Maybe if you crash into a window 500 times they fall off? There were no dead termite bodies. Where did the termites go? We live in a concrete and stone house so hopefully they attacked someone elses house.
