I'm planning on trying to catch Acromyrmex Versicolor, but I'm not sure if now would be a good time or not. Where and in what conditions is this species found, and when did you catch them if you did this year?

I think nurbs caught a queen recently.

Most desert ants fly directly after a large rain storm. I would say yes, this is a good time to find them, as we are headed into the heat of their nuptial flight season.
