On 7/16/22 I went hiking near woodside, a ghost town south of Price, after a rainstorm came through the area. Species I saw:
Pogonomrmex rugosus
Pogonomyrmex occidentalis
Pogonomyrmex barbatus
Pheidole sp.
Myrmecocystus navajo
Myrmecocosytus cf. mendax
Unknown species, see below
Out of those I found founding queens of: Pogonomrmex rugosus, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis, Pheidole species, and Myrmecocystus navajo. The harvesters and Pheidole flew around 8 PM, the navajo queen was in a founding chamber from the previous evening after the rainstorm.
Weather:
Rained the afternoon of the day before between 0.2 and 0.4 inches in the general area, large flash floods were caused
Wind was about 15 mph at 3 PM, with lower wind speeds down to 5 mph at 9 PM as the day progressed
Temp: High of 85, Low of 62
Lowest humidity during the day was about 40%

That horned lizards reminds me of my reptile keeping days and angry beardies!
That ant seems to be Dorymyrmex bicolor, but I dunno' it looks decently large...
"Loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix." -Comic book guy
I agree on D. bicolor.
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).
Thanks for the IDs, I think you guys are right
Some more Pogonomyrmex occidentalis flights in Vineyard today after a large thunderstorm came through the day before. The flights were quite small compared to the hundreds of thousands that fly in a few weeks, but I still managed to find several dozen mated queens.
Weather for 7/19/22:
Large thunderstorm day before with about 0.2 inches of rain
Flights began at 11:30 and stopped around 1:30
5 mph winds
40% humidity
Sparse cloud cover
The drones came first and swarmed the top of this tree, with the qeens coming maybe 10 minutes after. If you look closely you'll notice the tiny flying insects around the top. This species seems to prefer these particular trees when staging a nuptial flight.
