Re: Pennsylvania and Nearby Locations Nuptial Flight Sightings Thread
If you're near Shadyside, Pittsburgh, get out there now! I've caught five flying around a local park over the past 10 minutes! One even landed on my face, LOL! I've seen about 7 more that I couldn't catch, they were flying too high.
Will post pics later to help folks ID!

Re: Pennsylvania and Nearby Locations Nuptial Flight Sightings Thread
Here are the beauties! (I take this pill bottle with me to catch them and bring them home before putting them in their test tubes.)
I posted an ID thread here, if any of you happen to know what species these queens are:

Have a good hibernation!

Take a peek outside on any windless days above 70 degrees, and you may find some late fliers.
