1 | This is a table of ant nuptial flight data collected from the far southeastern United States (AL, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, eastern TX, see map --------->). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3 | Each point represents one day that I or other people have observed queens and/or males of a given species. On days where a remarkably high number of reproductives are spotted, such as in the case of Solenopsis invicta in the spring, I may count a single day as multiple points for a species. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
