Are there flying ants in Texas?
Winged carpenter ants resemble winged termites and, in Texas, it is not uncommon for both of these wood-destroying insects to swarm at the same time.What are Texas red flying ants?
Texas red harvester ants are the most common ants sold to hobbyists who maintain ant farms. Workers of the Texas red harvester ant colonies have long bodies and range in color from red to dark brown. They have square heads and no spines on their bodies. Winged males and female swarmers are larger than worker ants.- Swarming is triggered by the weather: the study found that ants only flew on days when it was warm, not windy and conditions had improved compared to the previous day. There is also anecdotal evidence that flying ant days often occur after some summer rain.
