Is there a list of rough nuptial flights for different breeds of ant? I know Lasius Niger will usually fly around about the 25th of July? What about Formica Rufa?

Formica rufa always fly in June. There is no saying when many British ant species have their mating flights, as it depends on weather factors as to whether a nuptial flight takes place; and of course the species, as our native ants fly from early Summer up to mid Autumn.
This is why it is not possible to make a concise list of flights, but this sub-board is the place to find some answers. You might also find some info in the Species Profiles.
