No porch domination here. I have two T14s full and a new one for this year that is filling.

In the 2nd picture, I think you can see the female's nictitating membrane or third eyelid. I imagine they use it a lot when flying so they don't lose focus on the bugs they are chasing. Just guessing. Does anyone know?

Ron, I'm putting together a photo presentation for Take Your Daughter to Work Day (heavy on photos, light on text). Would it be alright if I included your photos??

Ron, that's great!! I'll let you know if they need adjustment though I believe they'll be fine as is. On second thought, would you like to add your name to them so that I can credit you with the photo (I can do this if you like, would "Ron Vasser, Rome, Georgia" do it?
You should look into having your work published.

Ron fantastic! I have a lot of porch domination going on since I have side by side type housing. My colony is all ASY this year and the subbies are coming in "hot and heavy". John Barrow's report confirms this. Nice pictures. I'll probably post my pics of the aerial combat maneuvers.
I'm a "nestcamaholic" Is 18 hours a day a bad thing? (I have 2 this year, luckily I have 2 eyes!)

No disrespect intended but that photo of the T14 covered in martins always makes me think of an Amish event, all those dark coats :lol:

I really enjoy your photos Ron.

Keep us posted on how your site is growing this year.

Louise :wink:
