So we had a rain storm last night here in Grand Rapids. Its 75 out and sunny. I'm planning on going down to a park by the grand river with a friend to see if we can spot any queen ants walking around. Anyone here been down to riverside?

Or unlucky because I don't think she mated. She is winged and set on escaping.

Yeah the weather would have been perfect for them if not for the wind. Not sure if it is as bad wherever you guys live.

If you find hosts you could try out the vinegar-dunking method.

Maybe. Need to find hosts though, which is yet another journey. I don't think I'm quite ready for parasitic species yet, but we'll see. Might give it a go.

Absolutely massive C. novaeboracensis flight today. Queens were dropping like flies (literally dropping, and they have wings, get it?).
