| I just went bug hunting and found a velvet ant. I was on my way back to the house when I noticed something buzzing in mom's flower bed. I swung my net and got a huge vespula germanica queen! I named her Electra after the character in greek mythology. I'll have pics and videos soon! | |

| Here's two pictures I took of her. She wouldn't keep still, so they're blurry... but she's a cutie! [img]  [/img] | |

| Nice!  what are your plans for her? You know, my injured fuscatus that I had last year was Name Elektra (I spelled if differently). Two of Elektra's daughters are currently still alive (Elektra herself died a while ago). | |

| I plan on raising her and starting a free-range colony. I'm hoping that she'll build a nest and lay some eggs. | |

| Thanks, Vulgaris! I will! She's settled down a little. I plan on moving her to another setup soon, so I'll get pics when I can. I took a picture of her eating, She's a real cutie! [img]  [/img] | |
