I got a new maculata nest for my collection! I havent been able to collect the nests that I found this year so I decided to buy another one. I recieved the winning bid last week for this nest on ebay. It is a fairly large nest and it is in perfect condition. The measurements are 19" long and 12" across. It came in the mail a couple of days ago and arrived perfectly intact! It hasnt got alot of color in it mainly dark grey and some white stripes, but it is still a beautifull nest.Let me know what you guys think about it! thanks, CHAD

Hey Chad,

You got a nice nest there its got the same maculata shape mine has. Hopefully when my job goes from temp to permenant I will try to buy some nests on ebay. Like to get a large Arenaria nest, and maybe some Asian hornet nests like V. Velutina and so on. Do you have any other nests in your collection besided maculata? I got polistes nests, one medium arenaria nest, a V. Crabro comb fragment, a bumble bee nest, and some honeybee combs. Did I mention I have honeybees? I got 4 hives of them.

Regards,

Michael

Yeah, I got the tan D. maculata nest. The pics should already be posted by the time you read this post.

By the way, what do you think about my copper-colored D. maculata nest which is shown here?
