Where is the BEST place to find titanomyra? (the ants)
I am trying to round up chitin but it's impossible to find any scorpions that aren't either on dead island or in caves.

They spawn in random groups mostly in the woods, as far as I know, though they usually find you, not the other way around.
Trilos on the beach are also a common early source of chitin.
If you're brave enough, killing something at the edge of a swamp can attract some dragonflies if you're lucky.
Beaches, clifs where the grass turns to stone is uber common, mountains.

are there any specific regions?

You can find quite a few scorpians between the two middle mountains. They spawn there so infinite supply.
Otherwise, since ants mainly spawn inland a bit in the forest, it's hard to see them without your ground clutter at zero.

I live near the redwood biome and often see a lot there...

Go to the west beaches,then fly the route to the snow biome.You should be able to find a spot where the beach and mountains meet.Problem is,sabers,argents and allos spawn there too.

Redwoods are the best place to find Ants in large numbers, you'll also find lots of Scorpions there too. There's also lots of scorpions to be found all around the base of the Volcano.

Swamp, farm the dragonflies and there are often ants on the outskirts as well..

Why do you want only ants? Dont the dragonflies give enough chitin? Plenty of those flying in the swamp.

Go to the swamp, kill something and let the bugs come and find you. Works best if you're on a frog, but a pternadon works well with a barrel roll.

So i should go to the redwoods biome, kill something and wait for the bugs to come? I dont know... the redwoods biome is crawling with titanboa and friends....

Either Redwood or Swamp -- preferably the border between both. You can do it however you see fit, of course, but this is one of the ways I farm for chitin when needed (along with cementing paste if on a frog). I would use a dino that can make a quick getaway (frog or pternadon) in case the swarm of insects gets out of hand. If the insects are in range when you kill something, they generally arrive in short order.

You can also farm chitin in some of the caves (sabertooth or raptor preferred in this case) but if the redwood and swamp biome makes you uneasy, the caves most certainly will.

I always found a lot in the hills just north of the east swamp

I usually go with my frogs to hunt them in the Redwoods biome. They seem to spawn more frequently there.

Just to add my 2cents since we're talking about dragonflies.

Best way to fight them on foot is with a spear/pike, crouch and stab into the air.

They have a hard time hitting you while crouched, if you keep stabing wildly into the air you'll likely kill them without ever being hit.
