So, by dspdrew 's recent anting topic, among other things, I have seen the flights start too. Alza reported mating flights of Dorymyrmex insanus, and Dorymyrmex bicolor in the mountains near me, so I went to investigate.
I caught:
- 4 Dorymyrmex insanus queens
- 1 Dorymyrmex cf. bicolor queen
The flights have started!
Today I went back to see if I could catch more, and came back with 2 more Dorymyrmex insanus queens.
This weekend, I am going to go to the location in the desert that dspdrew, kellakk, and Chromerust were "combing," to see if I could get lucky with any Myrmecocystus yuma, or Veromessor pergandei.
