Ok well while at a friends house I saw something crawling on the deck and behold it was a Solenopsis Invicta Queen! Well at that point I enlisted the help of a friend and we caught like 40 Queens!!!!

Yea it was a good day! I've been working so much that I haven't got a chance to go queen hunting and was bummed after I heard they were flying in Georga. Well as fate has it one queen presented herself to me on that deck and the fire was lit! After enlisting the help of a friend, her and I caught upwards of 60 queens!

Yes a good da indeed! :D
