I will post the nuptial flights of queen ants in Malaysia in this topic. I know someone already made a post about it it was really long ago so I'm making a new post. All the schedules are from my own observations so if you found a queen or seen a nuptial flight of a species I haven't listed, write it down below. :)

Here are the the nuptial flights of some of the ants in Malaysia:

Anoplolepis gracilipes, nuptial flights are hard to come by and they usually fly in random times of the year. I found an alate in November.

Camponotus albosparsus, the only time I ever found this species is in Setember and October but may still fly in other times of the year.

Camponotus irritans, year round but mostly in the end and beginning of the year, usually from September to May.

Camponotus parius, the same as C. irritans.

Carebara affinis, year round but usually in the end of the year.

Carebara diversa, year round but usually in the middle of the year.

Colobopsis leonardi, November to March.

Crematogaster, usually in the end of the year.

Dinomyrmex gigas, year round.

Iridomyrmex anceps, September to May.

Lepisiota rothneyi, December to May.

Meranoplus bicolor, November to March.

Monomorium pharaohnis, year round.

Myrmicaria cf brunnea, early December.

Nylanderia kreapelini, year round.

Odontomachus simillimus, year round but mostly from November to March.

Odontoponera denticulata, December to March, May and September.

Oecophylla smaragdina, year round but mostly in the middle of the year.

Paratopula, September to November.

Pheidole parva, year round.

Pheidole cf comata, May and November.

Solenopsis geminata, September to January.

Strumigenys sp, September.

Tetraponera rufonigra, they fly in random times of the year, I found an alate in November. Usually incredible luck is the only way to find them.

I will make more posts when I find more queens that are found in other time of the year and aren't listed above.
