This chart will show species and when they fly.
 
Credit is due where credit is due - this was made by another forum, I have copied it here for your enjoyment  (http://antfarm.yuku....13#.UkSi3BBDUTZ).
 
Keep posting your observations, and I will try to update the list.

I was thinking that we should have "Useful informations" section where threads like this could be moved! :)

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll probably do something like that in the very near future.

Location they were seen when they were flying or location that they are native to?  

From what I have seen, the ants up north fly within a 3 week window of the same species down south.

Location they were seen flying in. When a species of ants is found in many different places, it doesn't always do much good to know when they fly in a place much farther away, or with a much different climate than where you are, because it probably won't be the same.

We should break up North America into regions if we are doing locations. North east, north west, midwest, etc.

That's a good idea. We could also make each species name a clickable link (to, say, antweb.org) ... so a user could click the species name, and get all kinds of images, locations, and info about it.

Yeah that MrILoveTheAnts guy is awsome. A BugGuide.net link might also be useful. Like a clickable AW and BG after or before each name for AntWeb or BugGuide.

Oh believe me guys, I'll be doing all of these things to it. I'll take the assignment. This chart will be greatly enhanced; I'm planning to spend quite a bit of time on it.

Hahah. He certainly is! MILTA, perhaps you could also copy some of your identification guides to this site?

It's a miracle, we have rain in the forecast for Southern California. This might be the first significant rain since March!

Well it ended up pouring rain for a while yesterday, but nothing flew today, as a matter of fact, I didn't see a single ant out anywhere. It seems around here in Southern California, if it's below 70 degrees the ants don't even leave their nest. There still wasn't a drop of water in the creeks either, which were flowing really good last year at this time.

I observed several large nests of Pogonomyrmex Rugosus flying both yesterday and today. Everything I had read indicated that early October would be the latest these ants would fly. Woot woot!
