Hey all! Detroit area, caught a Camponotus Castaneus queen two nights ago and have seen dozens of pennsylvanicus queens since. If you’re in the area and looking for Camponotus, keep an eye out!

Same here over in Wisconsin. Milwaukee suburb caught 5 queens tonight. Mid 80s and humid today. Figured they'd finally be flying. Caught them as they were walking around on the side of the paved path

Yep same, I caught 1 novaeboracenisis and a bunch of pennsylvanicus. In WI. Michigan and Wisconsin probably have flights on pretty much the same days id imagine

I just caught 6 last night in Wisconsin as well. They all still had their wings though walking around on my driveway.
