The AntsCanada Ant Forum's

Hello everyone! Super interested in starting my own ant colony after seeing some videos online. Applied to purchase a Queen on AntsCanada and been looking around my area to find my own queens. Might be a bit too late for the Ohio area but I am hopeful some will come my way!

Tetramorium queens are gonna be out alot this month this is they're nuptial flight month they fly from may till july. There is camponotus queens to but you dont see them as much they're nuptial flights are around April till july. Prenolepis imparis queens fly from February to april.

Thanks for the info! Going to be waiting for the next rainfall and hoping to get lucky the day after! Any recommended areas to search? Around parks? Parking lots?

Look along sidewalks or where there are lights on all night your more likley to find camponotus in the afternoon and tetramorium in the morning i see tetramorium queens out at 3 am to 5 am you can find them at parks and parking lots too thats how i found my queens
