Well, Today I came home to find this: http://www.formicult...0190405-170244/
What the f**k? I knew invicta had nuptial flights but this is next level sh**. They were EVERYWHERE on the walls and sidewalks. I literally have over 50 invicta queens now.

Your location says Canada.  Where did you find these?

 

Oh, I see the gallery is labeled "Florida anting."

If only you had a pet lizard, then those queens could actually be of some use....

I don’t, but there were actually wild lizards prowling the sidewalk looking to snag some queens.
