TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 04/14/2006 9:32 PM	A work in Progress. I'm going to try and keep up with all the mating flight sightings and IDs this year. Feel free to PM me for mistakes or if you're still finding that species months later. Hopefully this works out.

Note that P. terricola, arenivaga, parvula occur as far south as Florida and Texas, where they are more likely to fly in March, while in New England, parvula may fly in early May. P. bruesi, a high desert species, also flies earlier than April in most if not all years.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 04/15/2006 3:24 PM	I want to keep the list accurate (to within the US area) but what should I do for queens not ID'd to the species?

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 04/21/2006 1:25 PM	I think I found a Camponotus noveboracensis queen last night. Is it me or does it seem early to be finding any Camponotus queens? I'll add them to the chart if more people start finding them.

Henchant Posts: 1983 04/21/2006 10:05 PM Doc.	The non-native Brachymyrmex species (B. obscurior?) is flying tonight here in Tucson! Hundreds of queens and thousands of males are at the light behind my house- I'll post some photos later. *photos added in edit*

Posts: 5364 04/22/2006 2:56 PM Doc.	MrILTA -- Not too early, considering the hot spring we've been having here in the East. Myrmecos -- The females are so pleasantly plump and the males so tiny and cute.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 05/17/2006 12:25 PM	I caught a queen today and it could be a Brachymyrmex or Paratrechina. Anyone know how to tell the two apart?

Posts: 5364 05/23/2006 8:00 AM Doc.	MrILTA -- Brachymyrmex has 9-segmented antennae, Paratrechina - 12. Plus, Brachymyrmex in your area is light brown-tan, whereas most Paratrechina are very dark brown, except for P. arenivaga that is reddish, found only in very sandy landscapes (NJ Pine barrens for example), flies at night, and has several stout, standing bristles on the scapes (these lacking entirely in Brachymyrmex and P. parvula.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 05/23/2006 9:54 AM	Thankyou very much Dr Ant. I am convinced she is a Brachymyrmex queen. anhzor: I think adding area would make this chart to complicated. If you know the ant is in your area then you can at least expect a flight soon or know to wait next year.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 05/27/2006 11:52 AM	Today I found a Brachymyrmex and a Paratrechina queen. I'm going to guess P. parvula as to Dr Ant's post. Also noticed some Camponotus castaneus males last night. They were orange and 10mm long. A friend described what I think was a queen flying into his face at about 7:00pm. I've also noticed Lasius interjectus in greater numbers.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3133 05/28/2006 10:16 PM	I found a Tetramorium today at about 1:00pm. Not sure of the species but with the T. caespitum now broken into complex species (species complex?) I'll leave it at Tetramorium. Also spied some termites taking off later in the day.

Major Worker Ant Posts: 446 06/05/2006 4:05 PM U.S. Army Ant	Our beloved Solenopsis invicta is flying in Georgia. I was at a beach on Thurmond Lake and it was littered with queens at a density of roughtly 20 per square meter over the entire beach area. Some were clustered in groups of a dozen or more. I would have expected birds to be feasting, but the only creatures that seemed to be preying upon them in any numbers were some small Pheidole. H
