Can you let me know the date and time of the feasting? Does the termite hatch occurs regularly? Any images of the masses of dead termites on the ground to share?

I woke-up late that holiday (1st may) morning (late night stayed for Chelsea game!). I heard a loud noise in front of my house, and noticed that party in progress.
The termite hatch occurs quite regularly especially if there is a rain in the evening or at night. The termite will fly into the house and into our cups and soup!.
NO, didn't take the photo of the termite at all in that photo shooting frenzy.
Thanks for the info. Look out for the posting in BESG's blog next week.
