The same here when the rain starts we have flying ants as they come out of the ground from nowhere and birds and lizards have a field day. Only happens once or twice a year as it has to have certain conditions to trigger it.

I was going to call them flying ants as well but i wasn't sure if that is what they were. Sounds like exactly the same phenomenon. So many of these guys come out at once that you can't see the streetlights.
The people also eat them here by just plucking the wings off and eating them as they are.
well, i'll try almost anything once, but not if it has an exoskeleton.
I don't know so much as I don't eat bugs intentionally apart from the odd fly you swallow whilst cycling. I have tried the Mopane worms which they call a delicacy here and found them disgusting .
