La Vernia Primary School - Garden. Supported by Guadalupe Master Gardeners. Photos of some the pollinators and plants growing wild and cultivated.... for lesson plan later in the year. Snout on s mint flower plant.
Deceased but probably a resident of the pond up the road.
Found this old pictures and movies of queen ants. Never when back and ID them. At the time had a huge problem with leafcutter ants. (Still do... but like 2016) My thoughts at the time these were Leafcutter ant queen. these are huge compare to the other cutter ants.
It was pre-dawn opened the garage door with lights on. These queens got attracted to the garage lights an flew in. It was a nice swarm about 30-50?
