Re: Got the E-book, Can't Download

I did that last night. I do hope to hear back fairly soon. Maybe I'll hear from him after I get back from my ant hunt! :D

Got the E-book, Can't Download

Feeder Insects

So as I await patiently for my queen hunt tomorrow, I've come to realize a huge issue. Feeder insects. Where I live, we have Petco in the nearby area, and I think a PetSmart nearby.

Males look a lot like wasps.

So you could have found a drone. Don't give up then! Where there are males, queens must be around too! :D
