Oh man, the most prolific ants to fly on the east coast. Prepare your butts everyone, and don't open your mouth during their main flights.

I Don't plan on catching any but will be excited to witness their flights.

I'm hoping to find some! I found one a couple weeks ago in my yard but I'm hoping to see a big flight!

And~ What time of day are we looking at? Like Reevak said, it rained a bit this morning, but it looks pretty sunny outside now, and it is defiantly humid now. Can't say much about temp, but I'm totally willing to take my lunch in the park or maybe a non-smoking smoke break in the back lawn! I have had test tubes stashed in the desk drawer for just a time like this!

Maybe you can get some video footage of the flights?

Will they fly here, it's kinda unseasonably chilly. What do ants do in a situation like this?


I accidentally froze all my ants
