A few days ago I found a dead Pogonomyrmex Californicus Dealate in a parking lot, is anyone catching live Pogonomyrmex queens yet?
I don't think they would be flying just yet. Although I think californicus can fly a bit early. Maybe is was a male test flight?

Is it to early to be finding Crematogaster? This is a species I've really wanted.
Ants are cute, that's that.

Should see some major flights around Huntington Beach around Tuesday if the forecast is correct. I'm expecting Pogonomyrmex californicus, Hypoponera spp., Pheidole navigans, Solenopsis molesta, Solenopsis truncorum, Nylanderia vividula, Solenopsis xyloni, Brachymyrmex patagonicus and maybe the native Pheidole sp. that is around here.
Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.
However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:
Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Got eight Pogonomyrmex californicus queens recently in Long Beach, didn't need to dig at all, they were out foraging or actively digging and easy to grab.

Yea that’s how I think 9 were for me. I only had to dig up 3. I found the rest foraging
Just stalk the chamber and wait for them to pop out.

Going to head out to HB Central park this evening to go look for some. I know they used to be there, I'll just hope they haven't been pushed out yet.
Also, since it rained today I'll be expecting Hypoponera flights tomorrow or today.

Wow! Are you going back today? If there are flights today, I’ll go. Or if there are a lot of founding chambers I’ll go with a shovelHere in Bako, I've been catching about 20-30 Pogonomyrmex each trip to Hart Park. Great spot for them, xyloni, brachy and formicas.
