  2. This has to be the most incredible photo of a wasp that I have ever seen. You should be very proud, Mark! Posted 10 years ago
    1. That's so wonderful of you to say, but I know someone who can give me a run for my money! I sent out a link to everyone in my flickr group to check out JungleDragon. You can view a compilation of all of our work here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/2411266@N25/

      I hope many of them create a JungleDragon account.

      1. That is very kind of you, we certainly need more members!

        One small correction in your post though: we do not have contests every month, usually about 4 in a year.
