Wondering how everyone seems to be finding late queens and I'm over here like..

Haha, I completely agree with you until I found 2 A few days ago. You just have to pick a day. One day, you'll look for hours, the next, you'll find 2 in ten minutes. I suppose it is just very minor conditions that we don't notice.

It must just be some kind of Mojo I need to find. Like Austin Powers. I almost feel as though it's pointless for me to look now because now it's way close to hibernation time in Arizona, I might might get lucky though and get some winter ant queens in January-February.

That's my target next spring as well! Good luck.

In Australia on the Gold Coast, there are queens everywhere!

One scoop of a pool net into my pool and there would be 15-20 queens and 40-60 dead males

Although we do live in the other side of the world and its perfect conditions and timing atm especially with all of the storms and hot weather.

I wish you back luck. I hope to be the first GAN farmer in Arizona. Gonna hopefully make some money and some peoples day with the ant love.

Hey guys I`m new here and I have recently decided to get into ant keeping . But I have no idea when the nuptial flights of any of the local ants are and I cannot seem to find the relevant information online. Does anyone known when for example black crazy ants have their nuptial flights in the Gold Coast?

Thanks guys, I can`t wait to start a colony
