I was in Chico for a semester for college, but moved out 3 years ago. I may go back for another program in September if I decide to attend CSU Chico or CSU East Bay. I think it would be cool to be your sidekick searching for queen ants. As for now, I am in San Diego county. I am trying to head into the desert area from around June to September to look for Acromyrmex Versicolor queens. This time I will be using wunderground.com. I tick off precipitation and see exact locations of where it is raining. I hope that helps.
