Also available here and I will be updating this one more often. http://ants.ideltech.com/ Last years chart can be viewed here. http://antfarm.yuku.com/topic/6907 Remember that this list is comprised of sightings from members of this forum. They will be added to the list once they've been properly identified by an expert.

I got a sample of Lasius (Acanthomyops) interjectus in the mail last week, including workers and males that emerged into a house in Buchanan Co., Missouri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchanan_County,_Missouri They emerged on the rather warm day of March 7.

Posts: 913 04/12/2008 8:33 AM Doc. and Soldier Ant	I ID-ed a winged female of Camponotus nearcticus that flew into a house in St. Louis, MO on 10 April 2008. This is about a month early for this ant to fly, but living in a heated building could result, as with the Lasius above, in premature flight activity. Last Edited By: Doctorant 05/06/2008 6:14 AM.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3694 04/20/2008 6:05 AM	Yesterday I was out in the garden and found a male ant wondering. I'm no good with identifying males but it was slightly larger then a Lasius. I believe it was one of the smaller Camponotus species around here which I have found this early in past years. Later at work I discovered two Camponotus chromaiodes queens (I'll confirm this with workers if I can, since I know what to look for,) and in the course of 5 minutes I managed to fill up both test tubes I usually keep on me at all times. I felt naked for the rest of the day but didn't find any more queens. I imagen a few others flew that night that I didn't find too. Is it strange that Camponotus should fly before Paratrechina?

Posts: 913 05/06/2008 6:12 AM Doc. and Soldier Ant	Camponotus species around here (east-central Missouri) usually fly on the first warm, muggy days in May. It wasn't all that humid yesterday (cinco de Mayo), but was quite warm and I did see the first one in the late afternoon, specifically, a big juicy female of C. chromaiodes on a plant stem flew off as I watched. No doubt some others in the genus flew, too, but I was busy with other things and didn't get the chance to see them.

Young Worker Ant Posts: 43 05/12/2008 7:23 AM	Does anyone know if C. Americanus has flown yet in NE? I found nests with alates about a week ago. But I accidentally dug through a nest yesterday and found none. Also, if they have mated, where would I mostly find a mated queen? (i.e under a log or under a rock)

Young Worker Ant Posts: 43 06/01/2008 11:24 AM	I am still waiting on Tetramorium caespitum to take flight here in central Mass.. The colonies around the front drive way are still enlarging their nests and widening the entrances, so it cant be too long from now, maybe another week or two. I'm just hoping I havn't missed anything....

Young Worker Ant Posts: 43 06/04/2008 8:18 AM	It appears that Camponotus Penn. may have flown yesterday. (not 100% sure, but after looking at images on myrmecos.net, I feel confident that is what I found) http://antfarm.yuku.com/topic/7070

Minor Worker Ant Posts: 77 06/04/2008 9:41 AM	Tetramorium c. has been flying over the past three days here in northern Virginia. I managed to catch one able bodied queen. I found several others but not before other ants had torn their legs off. *EDIT 07JUN08 -This was the morning for Tetramorium in northern Virginia , theyre everywhere. My front porch was covered in males , and the gas station down the road made queen collection incredibly easy. Nothing like leaving the house for work at 4am and having to run back inside to grab test tubes. Last Edited By: s3rca 06/07/2008 3:28 AM. Edited 1 time.

TAFMF Addict Posts: 3694 06/27/2008 7:46 AM	Last night I saw a lot of Tetramorium caespitum (species E)... I wonder if I should distinguish them with the other Tetramorium on the mating chart? What was the other one called again? Also noticed what I'm pretty sure was Temnothorax curvispinosus. Camponotus castaneus also flew last night. What's strange is there really hasn't been any rain here for some time.

Henchant Posts: 1355 06/29/2008 7:32 PM Henchant	I was looking for you on AIM a few minutes ago, MILTA, to tell you that I found Pheidole in abundance in my aunt's pool today. Also, found TONS of Tetramorium... I really have to start going places prepared. I've completely run out of test tubes, though . Anyway, Pheidole and Tetramorium are flying in NJ! Your Signature ...
