I found this alate in a huge swarm that was around and landing on my white back door at 6 AM this morning. There were tons of alates (mostly) and a few dealates of a few different species. I caught a few more, but did not go crazy. I am also posting the others on this forum. We have been in a drought for a couple of weeks, and a downpour rain happened last night. This area is surrounded by houses with small yards and a few trees. 

 

I caught three of this species. The entire body is black or a very dark red or brown. She is 4mm long.
