It rained yesterday and we had a really nice warm day today and right on schedule around 3pm Central I started finding Solenopsis Invicta queens. It's 6pm now and I still see them wandering around. These seem to be extremely dominant here in southern Texas (Dickinson to be exact). I live about 30 miles south of downtown Houston. These are the first queens I've seen so far this season here. I may break out the black light tonight and see if anything else comes around, most likely Camponotus since I am surounded by wooded areas. Next month I will be on the lookout for Atta Texana, if you guys know a good spot then please let me know! So excted!
