I was wondering what ant species are in Mississippi and what months their nuptial flights are.

This is a good site for your ant species: http://antmaps.org/?.

Just click on Mississippi and you'll see your native species.

As for nuptial flights, they will fly from early Spring to late Fall. An exception to this rule is the invasive ant, Solenopsis invicta, which flys any time conditions are favorable.
