Queen ants in the UK
Does anyone know the best time to go out looking for queen ants in the UK? I’ve read that late spring to early summer is prime nuptial flight season, but I’m not sure when exactly to expect it in different regions. Is there a particular weather pattern or temperature that triggers the flights, or is it more random? Any local tips would be great!

In the UK, the best time to look for queen ants is typically late spring to early summer, around May to June, when nuptial flights peak. Warmer, sunny days following a period of rain often trigger these flights, as ants prefer mild temperatures for mating.
