Privet my friends!

Yes Kentuki, i only need it for make pictures. My Friend have a colony but the only make males and workers, no queens!
So they go out from nest in the morning want search for a queen, but no chance, they die after few days! But interesting that they want make mating flight in the morning. and the only jump a bit and run, no flight!!!

I will add new pictures so you can see that the wings are to small for a good flight!

8 - Hi, yes many Cataglyphis

Hi, yes many Cataglyphis species (maybe all?) make not a flight or only the queens flight a bit. They most run on the ground and search for males and queens. we call it in german "Ehe lauf / Hochzeitstanz". The Cataglyphis aenescens do it so, i want to come to ukraine when they swarm, but not this year and i hope i can make a video from this!

Greetings

If you want to get on the Hochzeitstanz Cataglyphis aenescens, then you need to go to the southern area (I'm from his area brought Odessa), and even better in the Crimea.
