Just found a dead queen dealate of Oecophylla smaragdina, are they still flying in October? :( I'm always wondering if "can I catch this species?" when is the best time to go looking for them? :?:

I found that Pheidole parva don’t have schedules and instead fly year round but especially during March to June and the only ants that I happen to find are Pheidole parva :lol:

Haven't found any speck of ants anywhere. Pretty confident, that I've somehow missed their big nuptial flights.
Though after digging through another forum, I managed to compile a small list of all the possible queen sightings; the species listed, are present here in Malaysia. Bear in mind, this compilation is by no means accurate, and the months may vary.

[Camponotus]
Camponotus Auriventris - April

[Carebara]
Carebara Diversa - April

[Meranoplus]
Meranoplus Bicolor - August - January

[Odontomachus]
Odontomachus Simillimus - February

[Pheidole]
Pheidole Megacephala - August

[Polyrhachis]
Unknown Sp. - March

[Proatta]
Proatta Butteli - April

[Solepnosis]
Solepnosis Geminata - April - May

[Strumigenys]
Unknown Sp. - September

[Tetramorium]
Tetramorium Bicarinatum - May - June
Thank you! This is so helpful!
I have found more queens!
-Polyrhachis laevissima (left only queen)
-Pheidole parva (TOO MUCH)
-Iridomyrmex Anceps
-Polyrhachis dives
Hope to catch camponotus soon...
