The queens were hitting me in the face tonight and I bet a few came in just from my hair... Lasius are crazy out there right now.

Was at the CNE on labor day and a bunch of very small Myrmica queens were out flying. I've never had much luck with them so I let them be. But they were nuts and very very small!

Right now flying in the GTA are Crematogaster, Aphaenogaster, Lasius, Solenopsis and Formica. Have collected quite a few in the last few days!

I caught around 160 queens of 17 different species today. Solenopsis molesta, Ponera pennsylvanica, Crematogaster cerasi, Brachymyrmex depilis, Solenopsis molesta, Lasius claviger, Lasius pallitarsis, Lasius neoniger, Lasius minutus, Lasius aphidcolus, Myrmica incompleta, Myrmica rubra, Tetramorium immigrans, and 4 other different species of Myrmica

med_gallery_8_1613_858865.jpg "They were all flying at me" might not be the best vocabulary to use today

It was never my intention to catch this many... Ooops... They just kept flying at me!


Probably not the best wording

Dang. I can’t even buy a Lasius neoniger queen around here. Ya’ll can laugh, but that’s become my white whale: to find a non-parasitic Lasius queen someday.
It seems like they’re not at all prevalent down south.

I actually do find that I find wayyyy more parasitic Lasius queens than I do non-parasitic queens.

Opposite here, and ironically I'm way more interested in the parasitic ones
