Do lasius niger ants have nuptial flights during summer?
During last summer, in Spain, I saw quite a lot of ants queens and kept some. I think there are lasius niger but I am not sure

Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

There are zero ways to identify without a pic
