I came into my room on this hot day to find some of my colonies whipped into a frenzy.
My E. distanti were going nuts over some unseen female; I checked the colony and saw none, so I assume one of the females is going into cycle again.
Another odd thing I saw was the males; They were jumping and running, and FLYING around! I was actually a little afraid of their antics. So, just as a note, E. distanti are fliers, if they're in a breeding frenzy.
I was also wondering, seeing as I didn't see any female, if there could be another cause for the swarm..?
My B. dubia were doing the same, minus the fliers, and I actually saw a newly-molted female.
