Say what? They flew there last night? How many did you find?

 

Found one female alate with wings in heavily wooded wetland area near a lake. I looked a good amount and only found one.

Oh okay, then they're probably still yet to have their main mating flight. When they do, you can find them by the hundreds at night with a black light.

Do you store the data in a database or just in the excel sheets?

I found a myrmica Rubra queen in late march. I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

M. rubra can be found in Washington.

 

We would need an extensive ID for Myrmica anyways.

[Alabama Anter]

Yeah Myrmica rubra are INVASIVE there.

I've looked at the mating chart but just curious as to if anyone knows when Solenopsis Invicta fly? I live in Tennessee and see you there now everywhere pretty much. I would just like some insight on when the best time to look for their Queens. And also what time of day is best?

Where I live, they fly every single month of the year, but in Tennessee I would assume they would probably start flying around April-May. They will fly all summer and you can find them at just about any time of the day. They are also attracted to pools.

Awesome. I have family that live in Texas and said they seen some flying just last week. They aren't into the 'anting' thing though LOL but it's nice to know they are pretty easy to find. The weather here in West Tennessee is finally starting to stabilize and stay warm. I found a bunch of camponotus drones the other night but no queens.

HOLY COW! I'll be happy when I can get just 1. I already have plenty of supplies just for this species as they grow so fast.
