I live in SoCal, what are the best spots for these? Which have the highest density?

 

According to drew's map, m. creightoni can be found here

Any suggestions for camponotus? I think there's enough v. pergandei in the area that I'll catch them flying sooner or later but suggestions welcome

 

I'm in Riverside

Almost anywhere you go in the desert you will find V. pergandei. If I was to guess, I would say they are the most abundant ant (of a significant size) in the California deserts. The M. creightoni (not a positive ID by the way), I only remember finding around Palm Desert. Camponotus you can't miss if you go up in the mountains above 5000 feet any time around April and May during a heat wave.
