Dspdrew is working on a new area based mating flight chart. I decided to log my data publicly.

It would be nice to have a log to look back on.

May 9th (Albion NY) -Camponotus Noveboracensis

May 13th and the 20th (Holley NY) - Camponotus Pennsylvanicus

May 26th (Holley NY) - Lasius interjectus

June 20th (Holley NY) Lasius interjectus

August 15th (Albion NY) Lasius claviger

Thanks. We actually have a thread just for this very thing.

I will be creating a form people can fill out eventually. If possible I would like to know the time they were flying, and the weather.

How sure are you about the Lasius claviger? All the reports I have are in September, October, and November. May seems awfully early.
