Hello, my name is Antkid and I’m a beginner ant keeper and my dream colonies are camponotus and Red harvester ants. Does anyone know when their nuptial flights are an how I can catch them? (I live in a Texas and I’m 13)

Camponotus usually have their nuptial flights in May, June and July. Harvester ants usually have theirs in June and July.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
