Lol I have three spots, one of them is so huge that 10 people could go and get queens, and it's closer to most people on this thread. The one I go to is way South so it's only convenient for me.

Same place where you went to get Pogonomyrmex :). If anyone wants to know where message me and I'll give you the location, it's plenty big for many people just don't want to post it publicly.

Are the nests and workers obvious? I must be blind :|

 

Edit: the only other ants besides Pogonomyrmex I saw were huge Camponotus majors lol

Lol the nests are only active sunset and into the night. You won't know they exist till the sun sets and all of a sudden there are thousands of them everywhere.

YS, do you think tonight’s temperature increase to about 59-61 degrees will cause flights?

Doubtful. It's a bit to cold and windy for anything quite yet. Once this whole atmospheric river thing passes, hopefully it will get much warmer.

I doubt you have andrei. They don't fly this time of year. If you do, Kentucky bluegrass and Poppy seeds with the occasional cricket leg works great.

None of the long time members on this thread is responsible for the destruction. I am sorry if I made anyone feel accused, and it was the person doing the accusing that was responsible for the destruction.
