(delhibirdpix) Cattle egrets catching flying ant? after rain

it was medium rain at last night and at early humid,cloudy and with little rain morning perhaps
flying ant (insect which can seen in hundreds after rain. a ant but with wing so that they can fly)
were coming out one by one in thousand from somewhere from ground or wet plants which were cut before some days.
i observe before year and then before year from my terrace (near my home) house crows were flying about 100 or more
and were catching this insect in flight before year.
