I want to catch some Pogonomyrmex rugosus this year. When do they fly? What month? At what time in the day? And do they need rain to trigger their nuptial flights? Thanks in advance.
They fly with the summer honeypots like mexicanus and navajo. If you arrive around sunset following the desert rain in July/August you should be able to get some. They are extremely easy to dig up even if you arrive a day or so late.
Alright thanks.
