Have you seen any queens about yet? Say your area and when!
nope not a single one
Shame I have not had time to finish off the upgrades to the nuptial flights database, will try and do it this weekend!
I have a feeling it might be today in my area as there was thunder and raining hard :)
over the last 2-3days i'v been seeing L asius niger queen walking around 1or2 without wings but the rest with wings? not near any of the nests i have in my garden tho?
When M yrmica rubra queen season?
The complete month august.
Laisus niger are on their nupital flight today in the south of England quite early in the morning at about 9:30am. Some people said it wouldn't happen until about the end of August but I said end of July and have been proved right.
its mid july :P
There's stacks of them (I presume Lasius Niger) in the Ipswich area today - having to tread very carefully outside so as not to squish them.
