Winter flights?
Hello!
Sorta new to this hobby, sorta not, but I was getting ready to go for a bike ride and I noticed that a colony of citronella ants are beginning their nuptial flights today. Down side? It's about to snow here in Colorado and I am curious if this is a common practice for this species? Attempted to upload a picture via phone, but I keep getting the error that the file is too large.
Thanks!

Re: Winter flights?
I did not. All of the queens still had their wings. Thousands of queens and males were taking off for the flight though. Might have to go for a walk tomorrow.JustABitAntsy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 7:35 pmdid you catch one?NikkaTrunks13 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 6:36 pmHello!
