Well i've had three exclaman colonys and one metricus colony this year all from which failed. So next year I plan on doing everything possible to keep a colony for the whole year and attempt to over-winter them. This may require having to have an out door colony. But next year besides keeping exclamans and possibly metricus I plan on looking into other possible breeds (Fuscatus, possibly dominula if I can get one through the mail). Just thought i'd share my ideas and see if anyone would be able to send a fuscatus queen and maybe dominula though i've heard they're a bit more aggressive then wasp i've kept.

cool i wish you the best of luck. Smile

although i have to say that if you DONT currently have P. dominula in your range, then dont release ANY queens at all. if you do get one sent to you, make sure you keep all the queens that the nest produces because we dont want to help the invasive species invade even more! Smile
