I found some Prenolepsis imparis drones coming out of the nest in my garden... hoping for a flight.


Hit "Like This" if it helped.

Usually after about a week of warm weather (60+ F). This is not particular to Minnesota but is a common pattern in most regions of the North. Start looking in mid-March.

Someone on reddit reported in NC P. Imparis were flying yesterday.   Feels like so far away with the 18" of snow we've gotten in the last 2 weeks.

Seriously? That is almost like a complete slap to the face of us.  :lol:

Dr Trager said on facebook that P. imparis has started flying in some of the southern states and that it should be really soon for everyone else.

I love every living thing from 0 - 400 legs! (Except for 247. That's just weird.)

That's definitely encouraging to hear.  I was about to type we probably have to wait until April for us New Englanders, but see last year was 70s twice in March in Massachusetts; March 9th and March 31st.  In 2013, 2014, 2015 we didn't hit 70s until middle of April, so quite the range there.  So best cause a couple weeks out, worst case April :)

I'm getting hyped cause we're about to have a 6 day warm streak with a couple days over 70. I'm hoping the queens will start flying then.
