We had a tiny bit at the beginning of last week. Though it's going to be getting cooler over here in the next few days and more chances for rain.

Re: Nuptial Flights Europe (Eurasia)
Usually they do, but I've found that Lasius neoniger and related species release most of their elates in one evening, and then release the rest sporadically though out several days before and after the big flight. But Lasius niger could be different.
