Re: Lasius Niger UK nuptial flight.
I have only found Lasius Niger queens too. I didn't mind as it's hopefully going to start my first colony.
Re: Lasius Niger UK nuptial flight.
I saw more queens today on the ground about 5.15pm. I didn't have anything to catch them in though. I should have caught more then join the GAN project.
Re: Lasius Niger UK nuptial flight.
I caught 78 queens on tusday, only had 51 test tubes so had to let some go and about 45 out the 51 have layed eggs so doing well up to yet
Re: Lasius Niger UK nuptial flight.
here in deepest cornwall, 4 out of 5 of my ant nests in the patio had there nuptail flight yesterday and as of 10 mins ago the 5 was gearing up. reports of flying ants have started all across cornwalll as of yesterday. sadly due to a hangover i missed the main event and only caught 6 queens which i hope to sell or pass on to ant britanna in about 2 weeks when they have settled.
Re: Lasius Niger UK nuptial flight.
We had are first national nuptial flight in the UK in late June which was just lasius Niger then another the other day which was lasius Niger and lasius flavus. All other spieceis will have their nuptial flights between now and late September.
NOTE: nuptial flights cannot be predicted day perfect all flight timetables are guesses based on previous years and the weather. If you see elates wondering about outside the nest a nuptial flight is lickley to occur within the next few days
