prenolpis imparis are kind of weird since their flight scheduled is based more on the weather than most species and can be seen flying usually at the first couple warm days ( 70 F ) in spring but can be seen flying with snow still on the ground. The month they seem the fly the most at in this latitude is April.

I live in southern Maine, so I can understand the struggle of nuptial flights in colder areas :lol:
