Heavy rain tonight, expecting more lasius tomorrow.
I'm hoping for it! I'm in Central New York and we got big storms last night as well. Have you seen any Lasius neoniger queens out yet, I'm hoping to get a few!!! This is my first year ant keeping!
Yeah I have already caught a bunch, if you end up not catching any i will be posting them to GAN

Philadelphia resident here! I'm anxiously awaiting the weather to get above 65. I got a colony of prenolepis imparis from a GAN farmer, but I'd like to try to found a polygynous colony (or a few) once the flight starts. Has anyone on the forum had any luck at Marconi Plaza in South Philly? It's so nice and wooded and near water.
