I don't want to make an actual post about this but, what's an "ant watch"?
Tetramorium definitely flew today. I caught two dealate queens. There were dozens more but only had 2 tubes with me. Any idea what size vial they are most comfortable in?

It's a term for a thread in which people post when and where they find queens.
"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds (including ants). And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version
Keeping:
Formica cf. pallidefulva, cf. incerta, cf. argentea

They are not very pick at all. I do 16-17mm tubes and they are absolutely fine in them. They grow fast, so better to go a bit bigger then small.
Yeah, as in watching for queens.It's a term for a thread in which people post when and where they find queens.

Did I miss all the Tetramorium flights? I unfortunately, didn't look this Friday when Tetramorium were flying. But, I looked today and yesterday and found nothing. This really surprised me because on both these days it was very humid and warm. I woke up and walked before 7am and found nothing. I also know for a fact there are Tetramorium in my area, they are very easy to identify and I have seen a lot of them. Please help.
I really want Tetramorium...
All help is appreciated.
Tetramorium has been flying here, 3 days in a row. I found a bunch on Friday. Found a few yesterday and a couple today, but wasn't really looking.
I think I saw evidence of Temnothorax flying as believe I found a male with a Tetramorium queen under the same brick. I'll have to go out tonight and check. They start out a big scattered in early flights, then have some large ones that can last for weeks.
Can I start a mini ant-watch for Tetramorium?
Well, that’s what it’s for.........You could post observations here:

Temnothorax look to be flying tonight, at least in small numbers.
Another day with good condition but no Tetramorium queens...

Yeah, it beats me. I’m rotating protein sources, they’ve got got consistent humidity, and range between 75-80 degrees. I’ve been flash freezing the mealworms so I don’t have anymore mites. I just don’t know...
