We've seen flights here in Southern California, but it's normal for flights to start as early as January here.

Prenolepis imparis are about to fly for me, I just hope they all don't die at the same time like last year!

But I did see my first worker ant yesterday against the south side of the house.

Even if they aren't flying, I can find queens pretty easily up here in early spring.

Almost every rock I turn over will have a founding queen or colony beneath it with queen right in the middle.
