Britain is being invaded by swarms of flying ants so large they can be seen from space.
Weather experts were shocked when a satellite image showed a hoard of insects spreading 350 miles over the South coast of England and the plague of pests was s large that the Met Office mistook them for rain clouds.
BBC Weather presenter and meteorologist Simon King wrote on Twitter alongside a video of the radar readings: "Flying ants!!! Swarms of them flying into the sky in S Eng are being picked up as rain on the radar image this morning...!"
A Met Office spokesperson said the ants showed up on their image as a showers of rain because "the radar thinks the beams are hitting raindrops not ants".

According to Golden, he made a record during his practice session for the upcoming Chitral Shandur Polo Tournament in Saidu Sharif, Swat.
Hailing from Balochistan, Sultan Golden shot to fame in 1984 when he jumped over 15 cars and drove through three burning wooden walls. Following this, he rode through a 60-foot long tunnel of fire at Minar-e-Pakistan.
However, it was 1987 when Golden received the international fame after jumping over 22 cars, covering a distance of 249 feet with a motorbike to break the previous world record and enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
While talking to The Express Tribune, the Pakistani daredevil said that he used to be jumping specialists and had set the world record of jumping over 22 cars covering 249 feet distance in way back 1987, by leaving behind American jumper’s record for leaping 246 feet over cars.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and one of the world’s richest men at the moment, has penned an angry poem aimed at his runaway wife and the treachery and betrayal she has put him through.
Rumour has it that Princess Haya bint Al Hussein – daughter of the late King of Jordan and sister of the current king – has run off to Europe with her children, son Zayed, 7, and daughter Al Jalila, 11. As per reports, she has sought asylum in either Germany or the UK but she is currently residing at a secret location in the latter.
Inevitably, Haya’s decision to flee the UAE will draw comparisons with Bin Rashid’s daughter, Princess Shiekha Latifa, who also tried to run away from Dubai last year. Shiekha did manage to leave her country but was intercepted at sea near India and eventually, returned to her father. She had also previously recorded a YouTube video criticising her father and the restrictions she lived under.
Bin Rashid, 69, is known all over the Middle East for his poetry. The new poem appears to be a message from the prince to Haya and her decision to abscond with their son and daughter. According to him, what she has done is awful.
Entitled You Lived and You Died, the poem is a furious meditation on betrayal, wherein Bin Rashid accuses the unnamed subject saying, “You betrayer, you betrayed the most precious trust, and your game has been revealed. Your days of lying are over and it doesn’t matter what we were and what you are.”
Bin Rashid is also known for his love for horses and the new verses are rich in equine imagery. In one section, he writes, “You let the reins on your horse go free.” Here’s hoping the Prince gets some closure soon!
The main factors that reduce the chances of having a baby are well known: childbirth and breastfeeding, using birth control pills, smoking. However, very often even the absence of these reasons doesn’t guarantee that you will get pregnant.
you consume too many trans fats
Eating trans fats — found in baked goods, pizzas, snacks like chips, fried foods — can negatively impact fertility, meaning that ovulation does not occur. Try to limit consumption of these foods as consuming them instead of healthy carbohydrates can cause up to a 73% increased risk of an ovulatory disorder. When you are craving these trans fat carbs, it’s better to eat snacks like bananas, whole grain rye crispbread, almonds, or yogurt with berries.
you are overexercising
Exercising can improve your fertility to a certain extent, but it is important to get the right amount of exercise. Doing too much can impact your balance of energy and negatively affect your reproductive cycle. Research has shown that long and intense daily exercise may affect your ability to get pregnant. Moderation is the key to maintaining your health and wellness.
your body mass index is low
Having a lower than normal BMI may put you at an increased risk of ovarian dysfunction, infertility, and preterm birth. Eating disorders can be associated with a lower BMI and may sometimes negatively impact menstruation and fertility. If you feel unable to keep track of your nutrition, you can use specialized apps that will track your calories and weight as well as other health-related symptoms.
your partner is stressed out
Studies show that a man’s fertility is significantly affected by life stressors, including work, family, and social life. Being unable to cope with these problems has the greatest negative impact.
you use the wrong lubricant
To improve the chances of a pregnancy, carefully choose the correct type of lubricant for you. The good news: there are lubricants which may be beneficial for male fertility. Some have the appropriate pH level (7.2-8.0). Others contain magnesium ions and calcium that imitate the body’s own natural fluids. It’s also been proven that baby oil can work.
you can not calculate your fertile window correctly
Sometimes it’s hard to make accurate predictions, especially if your period is irregular. However, technology can help you out. There are apps like Flo Period Tracker (free for iOS and Android) that make accurate cycle predictions. In addition, once you get pregnant, you can keep the app by simply switching to pregnancy mode and enjoying baby development info and personalized health insights.
An Indian mother and daughter were hacked to death by three men over allegations of witchcraft in the country’s remote tribal-dominated east, police said on Saturday.
The 50-year-old woman and her young daughter were beaten by their neighbours before being attacked with knives on Wednesday night in West Singhbhum district in Jharkhand state.
Police said the victims’ family was embroiled in a land dispute with one of the accused, who used black magic allegations as a cover-up to commit the crime.
“One of the accused told the villagers that the women were witches and responsible for deaths and diseases in the village. They attacked the women in the night and killed them brutally,” district police chief Indrajit Mahatha said.
The woman’s husband filed a complaint against the accused who are on the run, he said.
More than 2,000 people — many of them women — were killed in India on suspicion of witchcraft between 2000 and 2012, according to the National Crime Records Bureau.
Some states, including Jharkhand, have introduced special laws to try to curb crimes against people accused of witchcraft and superstition.
Experts say belief in witchcraft and the occult remains widespread in impoverished rural communities across India. There are also occasional reports of human sacrifices.
Earlier this month police in northeastern Assam state said they suspected a case of human sacrifice after finding the headless body of a woman near a Hindu temple.
