Since the days here in Canyon Country are getting warmer, up to 72 Degrees, I’m wondering if any ants are gonna have their nuptial flights. It also rained today. The days thar are going to get warmer are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My best guess is that False Honeypot Ants are most likely gonna be the ones flying.

Currently keeping
-T. immigrans

-B. patagonicus

-P. ???
I will want to also keep some other lasius types in the future.

Probably. I've seen in Texas that they'll fly as soon as the conditions change, period. Keep an eye out, Asdin!
