Does anyone have any good anting tips, like for where to go, what species to catch, and when to go? (P.S. All in Southern Nevada)
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
So no going to AZ?
Probably not

Try to go to the sierra nevada's and flip rocks and logs. You should find some ants.
Go after some good rain and temps should be above 70
So should I try to find a newly starting colony, or try to find a queen wandering around?
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
Finding a queen wandering around or digging a queen out of her founding chamber are the best options.
I would say digging up an established colony is the last option.
ok
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
I went to a park earlier today and found three colonies of what looked like black harvester ants and one colony of fire ants under a rock. The park was near lake mead.

For types of ants any are good but it just depends on your preferences.
One of the harvester colonies looked like it was preparing for nuptial flight by widening the entrance.

Could be. You would mostly be sure that a colony is getting ready for flights when you see workers and alates out of the nest in bunches.
There were a lot of workers and I thought I saw an alate in the nest through the hole.
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
Yes they are getting ready. when was this?
earlier today
I just got back
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
They should be flying today night early morning or the same times I just said over the next few days.
Alright
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
any more Questions?
Do you think ten test tubes will be enough?
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
Yes that should be fine. But I would also bring a aspirator and extra viles if you have any.
Why the aspirator?
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
