Title: Gayle shows me up
Post by: D Semple on April 18, 2012, 07:39:27 pm

My wife Gayle spotted this swarm flying across the parking lot where she works. Followed them to a small tree outside of a Kohl's department store. Swarm # 11 for us this year and the largest catch so far, way to go babe!  8-)

Good job. Now find out just where that swarm came from for a cutout.

Yes, you know how to pick 'em! The first pic reminds me of a butterfly.

Those are a couple of nice swarms!

Glad you got them put up.

Sure hope she got a finders fee for them  ;)
