Hallo!
I live in Queretaro, Mexico
Of course its winter, but since I really can't find information about ant species on my area (also Mexico in general) I really need help to know more less the general time for nuptial flights for ant species here so I can catch an ant queen next year (hopefully a Tetramorium species, though I have seen on the little information that I could find on Queretaro that there are leaf-cutter ants)
I really would appreciate the help so I can get started on ant keeping
Thanks for the help!

Re: Inquiry
Thanks, from there (and several hours of search) I found a collection with Temnothorax mmp. and Stenamma huachucanum which were seen near the city I reside.
The ones at the "Reserva de la Biosfera" cant be kept because that is too far from here, and the climate is surprisingly different from here (trust me, I looked out)
Now, finding those nuptial flight times may be hard but ill keep searching
Thanks!
P.D. I wonder if there are GAN farmers on Queretaro

antmaps.org is also a good resource!

Re: Ants in Mexico
Mikey did a video on this on the AntsCanada channel, it covered the months of flights for North America at least... he had a chart that I refer to all the time.BlitzAnts wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:44 pmHallo!
