The head of the biodiversity monitoring department commented on the appearance of flying ants in the vicinity of the capital.
The intensive reproduction of insects is associated with the height of their mating season.
RIA Novosti journalists received this comment from Azamat Kunafin.
News about the spread of biting insects in Moscow previously appeared in many Telegram channels in the capital.
As the expert noted, winged ants are none other than female ants. And when there are a lot of them, this indicates the beginning of the mating season for insects.
This phenomenon occurs annually. According to the expert, the breeding season lasts from early spring to late autumn, therefore, Muscovites can observe flying ants for a long time.
The situation with ants is not an exception to the rule and, as the expert believes, allows to increase the population of garden ants. And these insects are useful, in particular, they loosen the soil and increase its fertility.
