pphakkar: Lasius niger? Maiden Flights (8. Aug 2007 17:26)

Yesterday I was able to capture some clips from maiden flights in Finland. I added the video, Maiden Flights , to my blog.

The quality is not always good, but there is clips about ants climbing up before take off and queen cutting off it's wings.

Great video. Too bad that the qualitiy is not a bit better but otherwise really great. All stages of mating flight are there. And that queen digging... amazing.

Great job. :thumright:

I hope this link helps: video .

It is direct to Revver, and I suppose that you can choose Quicktime too. Today I try to remember to put it into my homepages as a file too and I'll send the link here.
