And will I see more than one specie in one nuptial flight or will it be only one type specie per flight?

Closely related species from the same genus can fly on the same day, as we have seen Lasius flavus and L. niger do this; but ants from different genera tend to fly at different times of day or month.

okay I read that the pheimole mega fly in spring but the only ants I see around me are L.capensis, so I'm more likely to find their queen I guess. Just don't know their flight time. But my friend lives near an open field with mega's...I must visit more often...
