For the past 2 days the Lasius are doing their huge annual flights! Around Labor Day weekend her in the USA the Lasius Flavus, Lasius neoniger, and many other species do their mating flight. Well I got lots of footage of the ants during the flights. I ran into lots of queens of lasius flavus co founding nests together. In this video is a group of about a dozen queens digging a burrow together.
Something about today got the ants super active. Ants of all species. For example this tapinoma colony that decided to pick up nest and move.
Thanks for reading everyone! I hope you enjoy this post and i will post more soon. Please feel free to check out my youtube channel for many more videos like this.

My Introduction
Hello everyone! This is my first post and I will be telling you guys a little bit about what this blog will be about. Well to start I keep all sorts of insects from ants to bumble bees. This year my main focus has been on bumble bees. So I will frequently post stuff on bee related topics. Ants are another thing you will hear lots about. I'm very interested in nature so expect to pretty much all my posts to be nature related. Plants will probably be mentioned too. Thanks for checking out my blog!
