I caught 6 tetramorium queens June 30th at about 6-7 am, there's probably going to be a flight or two in July. Keep looking!

Re: OH-KY-IN-IL-MI Nuptial Flight Sightings
Caught something yesterday, too big to be Tetramorium...I'll admit I'm not too good at identifying ants I haven't seen before. Sadly she died soon after capture, pretty confident she wasn't a drone since she didn't have wings. It was near late afternoon in northern Illinois. I did see another dead in a spider's web so I assume something was flying that day.

Anyone finds Camponotus queens in Chicago area this year? Is it too late now? I live in the west suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

Re: OH-KY-IN-IL-MI Nuptial Flight Sightings
I've been catching those in the dells and middle parts of Wisconsin, they're definitely, just heat and rain and you should be able to find some.

Re: OH-KY-IN-IL-MI Nuptial Flight Sightings
Hey! Long time listener, first time caller. Does anyone know if there are any queens still out there in the Chicago area? Just not sure if I'm too late or not. Thank you!

Re: OH-KY-IN-IL-MI Nuptial Flight Sightings
Anytime after a rainstorm is a great time to be out and looking. They will still be flying for awhile.
