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.

@pphakkar

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.
