Ant Nuptial Flight Predictor

BitBot Software Pty Ltd

About this app

Will they fly today?

Every ant colony waits for the perfect day - then fills the sky with winged queens on their nuptial flight. Ant keepers wait for the same day. This app tells you when it's coming.

THE ANT FLIGHT INDEX
Instead of a meaningless percentage, every day gets a clear rating - No-fly, Quiet, Watchful, Promising or Prime - based on how today's weather compares with years of historical days at your latitude and time of year. Prime means the top ~10% of days in your season: drop everything and get outside.

HONEST ODDS
"About 1 in 7 days like this see a reported flight." Calibrated against thousands of real sightings - never a made-up probability.

HOUR BY HOUR
Flight confidence for the next 24 hours, the best three-hour window to go looking, and the week ahead at a glance.

WHY THIS FORECAST?
Full transparency: see exactly how temperature, wind, humidity, cloud, rain and pressure moved today's rating - straight from the model, no hand-waving.

POWERED BY ANT KEEPERS
The forecast is a machine-learning model trained on 10,000+ real flight reports from users worldwide. Report a sighting (or "I looked - no flights") and you make it smarter for everyone.

ALSO IN THE BOX
- Prime-day notifications - only when it matters
- Home-screen widgets for Android and iPhone
- Live map of recent sightings near you
- Which queen size is in season (small / medium / large)
- Dark mode, C/F units, and 13 languages
- Free and open source. No ads, no tracking.

Made by an ant keeper, for ant keepers - and for anyone who has ever wondered why the sky is suddenly full of flying ants.

Ratings and reviews

what the hell is this update omg it looks so professional now like what the hell happened i just opened it the other day my open source backwood ant flight tracker app then the next day looking sleek more options by god best app out there please steal my data take my money ong you deserve it

Ant flight predictor went to poop, honestly I've actually used this app a while back to catch some ants,genuinely it was accurate, proper predictions, because of it i was able to get some queen ants even, for contrast, literally it's winter and guess what it says? 46 percent chance for a nuptial fight... Any sane ant keeper should know a nuptial flight in Europe at 9 degrees weather early winter isn't gonna happen. I don't know what they did to make it go so wrong.

The app kind of helps when tracking queen ants, but it needs an improvement, it's kinda hard to understand it, because it has no instructions and messy-ish. I hope you could make it more specific/Clearer.Also, it could use a bit of polishing, But its great overall

Rebuilt home-screen widget: the Ant Flight Index band for the day, the honest odds, and an ant that grows wings when a flight is likely.

New Quick Settings tile – check the outlook from the notification shade without unlocking.

Fixed: first launch could hang while waiting for location.

Fixed: a fresh install no longer opens with an alert about a flight that already happened.
