Has anyone noticed any nuptial flights in Texas? I've had lots of rain and warm days lately in the Houston area, but have yet to see anything other than termites.

I have. I've checked early morning, mid day, evening, and night. So far nothing but the occasional termite male.

I haven't seen any this past week here in Austin. There were a bunch that flew two weeks ago though.

I am actually looking for Pogonomyrmex's as well. Just to try something different from Solenopsis Invicta.
