Has anyone else noticed less tetramorium flights this year than previous years? Here in Massachusetts around this time in past years I have woken up to find at least 20 tetramorium queens stuck in my pool each morning, but this year I haven’t found a single one. I found two tetramorium queens in my yard one evening, but nothing since. I’m not sure if most tetramorium haven’t flown yet or the flights are not as big this year.

Most of the north eastern US is in some state of drought. That has certainly affected flights.
