jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula) Western Australia

[Alcarria]

Hello guys, ladies and gentlemen. I found 3 nests very close to the jumping jacks and I am very excited, I am in Western Australia in Perth.
I would like to know when is the nuptial flight of these ants, can someone help me please?

The Nuptial flights are around late Jan-Mid Feb. But you can sometimes find queens walking around early spring after hibernation. But good tip if you do find one. Try and get her into a routine, feed her every 3-4 days around the same time and she will be less aggressive. I've actually been able to hand feed (as crazy as this sounds), my queen before with success.

reallyyyy you are crazy hahaha, the problem that I’m far away from the nest 1 hour to my house but I’ll try to go a couple of days early in the morning to see if I see the queen. I found 3 nests but probably there are more however I will go in the time of nuptials flights .
Thanks so much antsRlife
