They are differently still flying today, found 2 queens in Somerville.
Re: Massachusetts Flight Sightings
Found 8 today from 3:30-6:00. It was a modest flight, but I probably missed a big chunk of it.

Re: Massachusetts Flight Sightings
This Spring I caught 5 queens that I have not yet ID'd, but so far they have laid over 20 eggs. It's actually amazing seeing them all clustered together. I'm hoping they will grow fast and I think at the end of May or mid June that they will hatch into many workers to start the colony. Their eggs are quite small, so I think I will not have to wait long.

Re: Massachusetts Flight Sightings
I tried posting pictures on the forum but keep getting error message "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." What else can I do I need help determining weather or not I potentially have fertile queens or not but it wont let me post pictures.
Re: Massachusetts Flight Sightings
No true way to tell if the queens are fertile until she has first workers.Andrew17888 wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2017 4:43 pmHi how is everyone doing I just caught some flying ants today and yesterday can anyone help me because I'm new to ant keeping how do I tell if they are queens and if they are fertile
