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!

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:

It is 50F today where I live.. so I guess I will see you guys in March when the Prenolepis imparis fly.
Have a good hibernation!

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

I'm hoping for it! I'm in Central New York and we got big storms last night as well. Have you seen any Lasius neoniger queens out yet, I'm hoping to get a few!!! This is my first year ant keeping!
