You can always look for ants in wood, logs or branches just pull the bark off and slowly dig into it. You can pull moss off the ground around trees or on wood, and find ants nesting in that.

Of course, waiting for a nuptial flight has less potential to disrupt the habitats of organisms other than ants, including amphibians (many of which are threatened).
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Most ant species dig very deep, and it is extremely difficult to find the queen.
"God made every kind of wild beasts and every kind of livestock and every kind of creeping things;" (including ants) "and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:25
