Lasius Emarginatus, Food and Nuptial flights Europe

[Alexandros]

I'm willing to go queen hunting for a Lasius Emarginatus queen. But it is very hard to find a queen in my area. So I would like someone to tell me plz Nuptial flights in Europe and in what place. I live in Cyprus if it helps. I have been searching in the internet MONTHS now and still nothing.. Also could you please tell me the food they eat. Thx!

Also I would search after a rainstorm... But here in Cyprus the weather IS SOOOOO DRY AND HOT, we almost never get rain..So I can't search after a rainstorm though it's ALWAYS HOT IN SUMMER, from 30-45 degrees Celsius, if that helps with hunting.

Well I just looked there and there is nothing, for Cyprus. Well it's always like that though here in Cyprus, we are so entomologically back we don't know sh!t.

Usually lasius ants do not have nuptial flights in winter (usually).
