Different ants fly at different times of the day or night. It really just depends on environmental conditions as to when you should try looking. Warm (70+ degrees), humid (but not wet), and windless.

Most ants will fly in the early evening, and the others like to fly in the early morning.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
