My biologist friend in Spain has told me that Messor barbarus mating flights have recently started. I have asked her to keep her eyes open for newly mated queens of several species native to her region, as she may be able to send some over for me if all goes well.
The last time she caught Messor barb queens I ended up with no less than 22, but Val has said she may also be able to collect a few Cataglyphis too; but as her expertise is plants she doesn't know what species the latter may be.
