Formica are flying and have been flying for a little. I just found 2 different fusca group formica queens in the past 3 days, so keep your eyes out south dakotans!

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Ponera pennsylvanica, Lasius brevicornis, Lasius neoniger, Lasius claviger, Lasius nearcticus, and Solenopsis molesta flew last night. Lasius americanus flew today.

Myrmica finished up their flight in the last week. I don't know if they will fly more, but i doubt it. It was a good anting year for me, and i hope it was the same for all of you!
