When is the best time to look for queens in the Summer here in CA? I know it probably won't rain here a lot in the summer (if at all) so when is a good time to look? Also, what do you guys find is the best time of day to look for most species? Thank you!

It'll be pretty hot this weekend, in NorCal at least, so it would be worth checking local anting spots around then. A lot of species will fly in the morning, like Tetramorium, Veromessor, and Formica. Setting up black lights in the evening would probably work too, as there should be Solenopsis, Brachymyrmex, and Pheidole flying around. I myself have caught a couple Hypoponera queens on my black lights in front of my garage on a warm night a few weeks ago. Days that are both hot and humid would be best for ants. Good luck anting!

It'll be 83 here Saturday. Hot enough?
I'd say around 90 would be ideal. 83 would maybe only have Brachymyrmex, as they fly year-round.
