@jimmyVe: well since everyone has been saying that there colony was doing some incest mating, then it sounds like it isnt that unlikely after all? i dunno im just guessing.
@steve: yer more and more common by the sounds of it, get some pics (lmao ant porn)

Incest mating in common with ants but they still need there flight. And that is why it is nearly impossible to do.

remember , a lot of colonies which you can buy from other keepers or shops , are from nature. In nature Myrmica is making big areas , where live a lot of colonies which feel like one big colony (like fire ant).

Keepers or shops which selling Myrmica , only get some your buy notice like "I want 4 queens and cca 200 workers" ... then keeper come to nature , and get it easily from this big area-colony. I am making it so too. In that big colony in nature are layed some eggs which are prepared to be fly ant , so when is keeper getting it , he getting also these eggs/larvae/pupae. So this is why are you have in colony fly ants. It will be only this year , next year I believe you will have only workers and first real your males/females you will have only when will be colony so big

mine did not need there flight , they mated outside the nest but in vwery confined space

my males are trying to mate with the workers, there desperate, and then the workers fight back and take them out the nest.

Everything is possible with ants. You are lucky to experience such a flight Marc. Still this is a rare case.
Did they mate with queens from the same colony ? Did these queens lost there wings ? And where are they now, did they joined the old colony ?

Did they mate with queens from the same colony ?
