Help identify this species and what time of day nuptial flights occur
I just found a whole colony of these ants and they had a bunch of elates ready to fly, so I want to be ready to look for them and care for them if I do happen to want one of these queens. Help would be very much appreciated!
Camponotus subbarbatus x3
Temnothorax curvispinosus x1
Aphenogaster fulva x1
Camponotus sp.
Termite pair

That looks like Tetramorium Sp. E (pavement ants) they should be flying soon they fly May to end of July with most in June.

Their flights happen in very early morning (4-6am) but you should be able to find the mated queens throughout the day once they have flown
