Anyone know the most reliable resource for long term weather? I am interested in anting this match/April so wondering what the best place is to find good weather data

"Long-term weather predicitons" and "remotely accurate" are far from the same thing. Even weather predicitons five days in advance can be over 10-15 degrees off.

There seems to be a slight spike in temperature Mon-Tues, that with some recent rain I was wondering if you guys thought It would be worth to head up into the mountains a little those nights or if its still just too cold.

I was in Big Bear last week, and still a couple feet of snow on the ground at 6000 feet. So don't go up too high.

2) M. navajo

Do you guys think Its a good Idea to try to catch camponotus tonight? I wasnt thinking anything high elevation something low like around black star canyon. I only ask because I want to be sure as I'm very busy with high school and want to make my time worth.

I was also thinking about checking some places out, but I just don’t think it’s warm enough at night yet. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

Yeah it should be at least 80 I'd say. Gonna have to wait for April-May.

I'm going for Camponotus semi tomorrow night, and possibly the day after. Wish me luck.

Did you catch any Dorymymex queens? I'm super curious about the genus.
Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.
I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.
If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.
