Florida (USA) Nuptial Flights?

[WiseHollow]

Is it too late in the year for nuptial flights? I moved to central florida early this year and recently started wanting to find a queen ant to adopt. Though, I've had no luck in my hunt these past few days. I live at an apartment complex, so there are no thick wooded areas near. I've had no luck looking under rocks or anything.

Tips are appreciated!!

If you can, look under leaf piles on the street against the curb, give found at least 4 queens that way. And they have all been in the last month...
I live in So. Cal by the way.

Thanks for the tip. So far no luck though. At least I get some good excercise by having these hour-long walks. I'll keep trying, hopefully I'll get lucky enough to come across one soon.

Cool thing is, you might find a whole lot one day. I found 8 solenopsis queens today all within a few inches of eachother

Maybe I can rub your head and get some of your luck. xD I've been out every day looking under rocks, leaves, and sidewalks in my community. Nothing at all. We also haven't had rain in many weeks, that might be a factor.

Probably. But it is possible to find them just lower chance.

It definetly takes patience.

It actually rained for about an hour last night at 9:00pm. So, I will be outside for most of today. I will also drive to a nearby garden/park to get away from all the civilization, and perhaps will have better luck.

Good hunt! Avoid those nasty RIFA though unless you're up for the challenge^^.

I live in florida and I love my RIFA colony.

I caught mine in June it took me about 4 months of paying attention till I found some then I found 4 at once.

Just keep swimming ( looking ) and you fill find them. If not just research research research.
