Swarming like...ants

I saw this ant swarm this morning while tending our goats. As fate would have it, the swarm happened on a weekend when both kids were helping me, so we all stood in awe watching the drones fly off. Four hours later, there wasn't a sign of an ant.



That's the Willow's mud boot behind the stump (can't see her in this photo) so you get an idea how large the swarm was.
