As the summer anting season starts to kick off in the desert, We are eagerly waiting to go out there. Does anyone know where Pogonomyrmex, Myrmecocystus, and Veromessor are flying? I would love some Andrei, Rugosus, Mexicanus, and Montanus. If anyone knows where to catch any of these species please leave them hear. Thank you!

 

 

 

 

If any of you have "secret spots" or "secret areas" you don't have to give them up.


Ants are cute, that's that.

Just follow the rain. Regardless of where species live, if it doesn't rain around an inch most things won't fly.

Ok, is there any upcoming storms or anything? This would really help me.

Really?!?! I thought montanus were a desert species! Thanks for correcting me! So do they live in the mountains?

https://antmaps.org/...myrmex.montanusLook at this map, I recommend looking up species you want before just making assumptions; it'll help you in the long run.
