I found them in a old and abandoned spider web afew feet from a cluster of small ant mounds. I didn't see any workers at the mounds but they look like they were maintained. The date is February fifth but the dead alates in the pictures could be from a far passed nuptial flight. They are about 4mm in length. I would like to know what species they are so I can watch for alates the next time they are in season.
