Two shots of the Queen

Post by Pizzazz »

Hi Gang!


A queen tending the nest. She was too close to our door, so she asked if I
would take her photo! I did so after she signed a "no-sting" clause. :)

Thanks. I was hoping for some different perspectives, and I still may get
them, but time works against us, as the feature colors and especially the
eye color changes.

I find that posing the specimen is an adventure. For example, the wasp has
very small barbs at the end of each leg, and they are somewhat easy to
pose on the nest. However, for a small iridescent fly that I have, it is very
hard to pose because they do not seem to have any structures to cling to.
