What I am curious about is it is looking like SoCal will be getting some rain. In fact it is POSSIBLE the Joshua Tree area COULD get rain as well.

If this happens do you think the A. Versicolors would fly this late? Technically the seasons ended for them in October, but its not that far off and they didn't get the chance to fly at all this year. Think they would take their chances? Assuming it DOES rain there?

I doubt it. Its very cold.


Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Cardiocondyla should start flying soon. And you might find stray Pheidole navigans queens throughout the year in SoCal.
