Question about nuptial flights in Southeast Asia

Hi,
Are there any commonly spotted ants having nuptial flights in the Southeast Asia region around June, and if so what are the times of the day they most often come out?
Thanks!

Most queens fly after rain and when there is not much winds. There is no specific time you can go but i prefer evenings as most ants have mated by that time and are usually looking for places to found their colony.
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Most queens tend to fly in the night and are usually found around lights. Other species fly in the early morning to around noon but sometimes later depending on the species and the weather. It's usually best to go look for them a day or two after rain.
