There's an item from the Metro website which is doing the rounds about flying ants - and I love it.

Headlined "Flying ants plague London", it's all about how the insects gather in huge numbers on one particular day of the year when queen ants emerge to start a colony.

I think it may have been the same little blighters which kept landing on everyone at Sunderland Air Show on Sunday.

Anyway, the Metro story is accompanied by a picture of a creepy crawlie and the caption: "Flying ants are just like this one, but with wings."

In other words, it's an ant. Brilliant.

Let's hope the zebras never escape from London zoo. The Metro will probably use a picture of a horse with the caption: "Zebras are like this one, with stripes."
