biting ants

I usually try to get a spot in the shade on the grass above the beach. Lately I have often been attacked by large biting ants that seem to drop from the trees. Is it just me?

Nope and five years on they are still biting even though most of the trees are gone and it hurts for days :), lucky for me they have missed the important bits
