[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The blood or hemolymph, as in other arthropods, is carried in an open circulatory system. The body organs, "heart" (dorsal aorta), muscles, etc. are surrounded in a reservoir of blood. The dorsal aorta does pulse blood through its long tube, though, so there is a circulation of sorts.

In fertilised queens the ovaries are activated and when the queen lays her egg it passes along the oviduct to the vagina. In the vagina there is a container called the spermatheca. This is where the queen stored sperm from her mating. Before she lays the egg she will decide whether to use sperm from the spermatheca to fertilise it or not. Non-fertilised eggs grow into males, and only fertilised eggs grow into females and queens.

Bonjours,
belle photo de cette abbaye sur le dessus et l' autre doit etre une fausse guèpe, une "syrhid", fausse guèpe qui ressemble a une guèpe, qui fait les choses comme une guèpe, mais ce n' est pas une guèpe, c' est une syrhid.

Amitiés Thomas

Wonderful macro, Siegfried. Amazing color and sharp detail. Great eye to catch both insects on this single spectacular flower. Interesting note, too.

Hello Siegfried,this is a beautiful macro.I love the texture of the flower, it is almost 3 dimensional.The insects are an added bonus.
The cropping is good too, I like that the shot fills the frame.Good notes.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Fantastic nature shot, the detail from the flower and the queens are superb especially in the wings. Colours are top notch, very good Siggi, i like it. Very informative read.
