Saw this colony swarming yesterday after work around 4-5 pm Mountain time.

Watched a couple of them fly off. It was strange cause they were different colored from the rest. They had a black head and thorax but the gaster was orange.


My Current Colonies:

 

Tetramorium Sp. E. 

 

Myrmecocystus Mimicus

 

Pogonomyrmex Occidentalis

 

Formica Argentea

 

Solenopsis Molesta

Some localities have bicolored males. There was likely a lek taking place elsewhere.
