Tetramorium fly in the early morning but finding them is pretty easy unless theres not alot of them where you are. I believe they fly through the months of late may to june/early july. In North america at least i think. Like around 5:00-6:00 in the mornings is when i have seen them flying.
Ants are pretty cool

In Richmond BC currently caring for:
X1 Campontus Herculeanus
X1 Camponotus Modoc
X1 Camponotus Novaeborecensis
X2 Formica Pacifica
X1 Formica Podzolica
X1 Formica Neorufabarbis
X1 Myrmica Incompleta

Tetramorium spp. only come up to California on http://antmaps.org/?mode=diversity&genus=Tetramorium. Dunno. No experience with them.
