Hello, my name is Max and I live in Phoenix Arizona. This is my first year ant keeping and I am very excited to see my colony grow. I only have 3 queens so far but I am worried because only one of them has laid eggs. I was wondering if someone can help me and tell me what species fly and in what months and when the best time to catch a queen would be. If it helps it hasn't rained in a week or so and I live right next to a tiny "desert" and it reaches around 95-110 in the afternoon and it is noticeable dry. If you could be kind enough to help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Nuptial Flight Help
Sounds like honeypot ants may start flights. Try at night when it should be cooler, as they may be too hot for the ants to fly.djmadmax8 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 12:10 amHello, my name is Max and I live in Phoenix Arizona.
