Anyone Encounter the Flying Ants Swarming on 14th Street and at Metro Center?

This was a rather bizarre set of tweets from last night:

@estherysong tweeted last night:

“WHY are there so many fearless fruit flies on 14th from T to W?! cc @PoPville”

Which led to @VBagate’s tweet:

“In somewhat offbeat but important DC news, there is a freak swarm of flying ants or something like that near the entrance to Metro Center.”

@estherysong:

“flying ants is accurate. Did we do something to a DC Moses?”

Termites?
