Lasius neoniger is flying!

I stepped outside this afternoon at around five. It was nice out, but it had been cool, and rained, the past week. I looked over and saw lots of lasius neoniger alates. At first I though someone just lifted up a rock that had a colony inderneath, when suddenly they where all over. I drove back to my house, and on the way home, there where millions of alates fluttering through the sky. It was heaven. I had dreamed about the grand Lasius neoniger flights, but I had never experienced one! I limited myself to 54 queens. I in groups of 25 (1) 6(1) 3 (1) 2 (1) and 1 (18) two where especially yellow, and possibly lasius flavus. I put them two by themselves. It was really cold for August, which must have triggered their flights. Keep on the look out! As Mikey Bustos would say, Lasius love is in the air!
