Camponotus Castaneus Catching Tips

[jakew102938]

I know it's too late currently to catch Castaneus but I'd like some tips on how to catch them for next year. I reside in Kentucky if that changes any of these tips. What month(s) and time of day do they typically fly? What temperatures and what conditions such as directly after a light rain, or during a thunderstorm, etc.

Thanks.

Watch the AntsCanada video if you can. He explains most of it.

Here is the link.

I'm aware of the basic catching tips and the time off when the species flies. However, I was hoping to get more specified details such as what temperatures they like to fly at or hours or weather conditions. I've actually watched that video before. I don't believe he mentioned any of those specific factors in his video.

It changes every year and it’s hard to tell, there is no perfect temperature or humidity.

They tend to fly around dusk or dawn.

If you want to you can keep a record of all of your experiences that can help you to learn about your area. (What I do.)

Good Luck!
