ANTSTORE World of Ants

[maxfly]

After good spring, the Summer in europe, not want to start, clody, rainy, windy, and temperature under the average of season, I notice that is is influencing the beahvior of ants mating, In my diary last year at the same period this was huge....now are completely absent... I see that in north-italy...

and forecasts are not good since first part of july....

I just curios if in the whole europe other people have same effect...

cheers

Bad luck for the rest of the europeans....


Here in Portugal is already hot!!! It is so good weather to go to the beach! In the other day was 37ºC, but we are still waiting for the 40º/47º degrees to come.

Damn 40°c that is to hot for me. Here its now 25°c and sometimes it gets up to 35°c (but thats the max.) I havent seen flight yet but last year they where end of July.

[thecowmaster]

in the iberian ant forum says that in the iberian penninsula fligths go until octuber!

That depends from species to species. Yesterday my Pheidole pallidula tried to have a flight (inside the house). Its early for them but its hot here (about 30°c outside, 26°c inside the house) so.
