I havent seen any Georgia anting threads or queen watches so here you go. 

 

I have seen some Brachymyrmex Patagonicus alates starting to fly and Solenopsis Invicta. Don't recommend taking in the Invicta but you should try to catch Brachymyrmex their pretty nice.

Remember, genus is capitalized, species is not, eg. Brachymyrmex patagonicus.

I wish all invasives were this 'nice'.

And 'their' should be 'they're'.

Sorry my bad on everything. Thanks for the tips!

I have found a Camponotus chromaidoes queen and she laid eggs and her gaster expanded. She could have been hibernating and trying again or they could've had a early flight. Keep an eye out for them. This thread could possibly apply to Tennessee and South and North Carolina. I live only a 1 hr drive to Nashville and to South Carolina.

 Most Camponotus have already flown. There will be a few small flights of Camponotus subgenus species later next month with the start of the C. castaneus flights.

I went blacklighting today and found multiple species flying. I found some dark males unknown species and a lot of Brachymyrmex patagonicus males and a queen

[AntsExodus]

Yesterday while blacklighting saw brachymyrmex queens flying and Pheidole Bicarinata alates flying.

[AntsExodus]

Went black lighting today hundreds of unknown males and 2 Temnothorax curvispinosus queens and a Brachymyrmex patagonicus queen. I didn't even know Temnothorax lived in my area. Also found 2 neivamyrmex males and a camponotus male.

 

EDIT: Did some research and I think those males where Pheidole males or some other medium sized ant.

Sorry I'm responding super late but they last from 7 PM to 11:30 PM

I have also spotted lots of Pheidole navigans queens in my blacklight and the usual Brachymyrmex.
