Anybody else noticing a ton of flying ants in their gardens?

Went out into the back garden today (don't think I'd been out there since last weekend) and there are thousands of them all over the grass. None in the front, but the grass grows better out the back and hasn't been cut in a couple of weeks.

I found this reddit thread from a few years ago and according to one guy, it appears it might be a mating ritual known as Flying Ant Day and that they'll all be gone in 24 hours. I'm hoping this is the case, but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this right now.
