π WINGED ANTS TODAY β REAL-TIME NUPTION FLIGHT
Are the queens emerging today? AlateCast predicts the probability of nuptial flights for over 200 ant species, hour by hour, in your exact location.
The nuptial flight is the moment when winged queens and males leave the nest to found new colonies. It occurs only a few days a year, under very specific conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, and pressure. AlateCast analyzes these weather conditions in real time and cross-references them with thousands of historical observations of confirmed flights.

ββββββββββββββββββββββ
β’ Hourly prediction by species and area β green, yellow, or gray indicator
β’ Automatic GPS or manual selection of autonomous community/region
β’ Offline: seasonal data always available even without internet access
β’ Personal collection: record which ant queens you have captured
β’ Ants nearby: discover which ant species are in your GPS area
β’ iNaturalist and GBIF data β thousands of confirmed nuptial flights

HOW IT WORKS
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
The prediction is 100% deterministic and transparent. Each score combines:
β Historical phenology β when each species flies in each area
β Current weather: temperature, humidity, wind, atmospheric pressure, and UV
β Species- and area-specific models built with thousands of real-world flight observations
There are no black boxes. There is no opaque AI. Historical data is included in the app.

Whatβs new
β’ Many more species in "near me": we've added cryptic and subterranean ant presence from museum records, especially across Latin America.
β’ Fixed the "where does it live?" map: it now frames the area properly (it could come up empty before).
β’ More accurate flight dates: refined each zone's peak season.
β’ Updated presence and flight data.
