Myrmica incompleta & Murmica sp.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am looking to catch Myrmica incompleta & Murmica sp. in the next 3 months during their nuptial flight, whenever that is. Could anyone tell where I could catch queens once nuptial flight begins and if someone could tell when their nuptial flight is that would be amazing.
Thank you
