Notes: She was found in a cobweb with other queens. When I came back for the others they were all gone. It's a pity as I know that they are a polygynous species. (The date and time are not accurate as I am doing this later). She may not be fertile as I don't know if she had time to mate before getting caught in the cobweb but I'll try my luck. |
