Me neither. So, what color are they? And, are they the size of lasius?
I feel like it was too windy today.

They’re about the same in every way. The color’s just a little lighter.

This whole week as well as next week is supposed to be of a low temp (as in 40's or too low for prenolepis)

Her colony lives really close to the foundation of my house, so it’s probably warmer for them, and they probably woke up earlier.

I'm not completely sure on this, but I think (emphasize think) I saw a Prenolepis queen on my window today! I looked around outside, but didn't see anymore. Probably still too cold.
