Myrmica flights

Today at work I noticed hundreds of Myrmica alates on the deck of a boat and I have just got home to find loads of dead males lying around and stuck in spider webs. Is this not pretty early for Myrmica flights?

Not really, as if the weather conditions were right with the correct humidity, Mymrica will fly about the same time as many other species which fly in late July.
