Agreed when I was 18 and stupid I got my first tattoo of the famous face hugger in an egg surrounded by smoke picture... still love it... paid a little too much but again, I love em all from ridley Scott's original Alien to the horrendously cheesy AVPS and I am a weirdo who loved both prometheus and covenant... so I am kinda jealous of your queen lol.

May be sacrilege but I'm partial to Aliens the most. Something about the space marine crew just does it.

Haha, you need to post that tattoo.

BTW, re: queens on the can of iced tea. No way they are fertile if congregated like that, right?

Since there is a lack of erect hairs on the pronotum I doubt it's Crematogaster Cerasi. Of course another view of the pronotum would confirm it.

Excuse me for my mistake but, I don't believe that this applies for the queens though.
