Prenolepis imparis flew, and me and YsTheAnt caught about five billion. Here are some I caught today.

[Jadeninja9]

Sweet. You think they’ll still fly in huge numbers tomorrow?

[Jadeninja9]

Went on a walk with my dad just now not thinking I’d find anything but I caught 5. This might seem like rookie numbers to all you guys but for me this gives me the equivalent joy of the amount of queens you guys catch lol

[YsTheAnt]

They will fly all weekend probably.

[Jadeninja9]

Hey guys, just a tip: if you wanna save a queen ant that has been sprayed with formic acid and looks like it’s in the process of dying, pour drops of water on it. The water will dilute the acid, and the queen will make a recovery.

[Rstheant]

Interesting idea, Prenos will definitely fly tomorrow, it’s been raining ever so lightly so Camponotus might also fly tomorrow or, Monday.

Nowhere close to an inch of rain, that's a lot of rain.

Me and YsTheAnt went to catch these queens, and we found 30 queens in the first hour at 4-5 PM, on the road!!

[Jadeninja9]

Wow nice!

[Rstheant]

If YsTheAnt approves, you could come anting with us.

U guys going to go look for Camponotus today?

I’m actually out looking right now. I don’t know if I’ll find any Camponotus cause I walked like an hour to get to this place that I’ve never been to before, and if I stay out to late too late to look for them then my dad’ll be like get back here before mountain lions come out lol

Yeah, I think I saw a Camponotus queen in the pool but I lost it while fishing it out.

Did they fly last night? Or at dawn?

[YsTheAnt]

Probably some time recent. I'll look at night and let you guys know what I find.

Ok then. Well if you find anything before 8:30 pm, I might just rush out...

 

Looks like today might actually be hotter than tmr

Where are you looking the only sign of camponotus I found was a dead queen in San Jose.

[Jadeninja9]

If I looked around at 7-7:30 would I see Camponotus?

[Jadeninja9]

I left that place there were no queens lmao. Neighborhoods are better.
