This was the biggest chromaiodes flight I’ve ever seen. Dealates were all over my yard. I only kept two to raise up for sale to responsible keepers.

A bit late, but in addition to C. chromaiodes and C. nearcticus flying that night (5 April) I also had a couple of Crematogaster ashmeadi males show up at my light as well. It seems like we'll have a while till the next warm period so we might have C. subbarbatus and pennsylvanicus flying by then as well.

C. chromaiodes flying in Alexandria!
Do you have a temperature, humidity, and wind speed they flew at?

The temperature was in the 70s. It had rained the day before, and the air was very humid with almost no breeze.

Sounds like a perfect time. Now to hope that similar conditions happen on my camping trip...
