    That is just so cool, I had no idea it looked like this. This is a top view? Posted 11 years ago

      Quite remarkable isn't it. I was just thinking I probably should have flipped the photo. Her body is underneath the nest, by the stalk so yes, the top view. She sat like this for ages, like she was protecting the nest. I would have expected the nest to be larger than three cells. Sometimes they are quite small, but at least a dozen cells usually. perhaps she was taking a break, I will check on her tomorrow. Posted 11 years ago

        I actually like it this way, it is a confusing perspective but one that makes you think and wonder. Really very cool! Posted 11 years ago
