1. Location (on a map) of collection (ie: city/town, state/province, country).
Found in Walnut Creek, California northern cali about 45 minutes outside of San Francisco.
July 1st at about 9:58 pm it was very warm outside
Outside of my house on concrete both wings was running around frantically on the ground.
4. Length (to the nearest millimeter or 1/16th of an inch.) Millimeters is preferred. Length is measured from the tip of the head to the tip of the gaster, excluding antennae, legs and stingers. Do not estimate, use a ruler! No matter how good you think you are at guessing the length of something, it's amazing how far off you can be sometimes. It’s about equal size as my placodops honey pot queen.
5. Coloration, hue, pattern and texture (ie: dark redish-orange head, velvet-like gaster, translucent, hairy/bald, shiny/dull, etc.). Be as specific as possible, and you can use the diagram below if you need it.
Very prominent (large bump) thorax long wings that fold over each other and extend a sizable distance past the body. Cute little mandibles and a very long and flat back end. Is this queen or some sort of mimic?
Has not removed any wings and is chewing on cotton but has since settled down and chilled out.
