On my adventure the other day (Camera died), I seen a large colony of Myrmica sp. on the shoreline.

I flipped a few rocks over and they all had tons of alates at the surface. I'm going to keep an eye on them, to try an get a video of them flying. It's been so dry, I haven't see one flight this year. And no rain in the forecast.
