They have their nuptial flights between April and June. But they are parasitic, so they will be very difficult to raise.TbroGaming6683 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 4:21 pmHi, I've recently wanted to start up a colony of citronella ants. I am absolutely in love with their vibrant yellow color, and decent size. I was wondering if anyone might know where and when I might find these queens. I live in the United States, New York. Can anyone help me out?
People have succeeded very rarely, but you need a host colony. Maybe Formica pallidefulva, but I'm not sure if they are super bright.TbroGaming6683 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 8:45 pmI don’t think I would be able to correctly start a parasitic colony. Do you know if there are any other ant species with a more vibrant color that are native to New York?
