I live in Boise Idaho and know that Lasius Neoniger will be flying here in September. The only luck I have is pretty much just catching a ton of Tetramorium and only one Pogo queen. I understand I have missed the Camp. flight but can still get prepared for Lasius. If anyone is near Idaho or in any t...

Thank you so much! I have been doing research and heard they have a second nuptial flight in August? I live in Idaho and don’t really know where to look except a walk way by our river. Thank you though!

So I know in the U.S Camponotus species have had their nuptial flight in the bulk of May but is it still possible to find queens?
