Different specimen?
This one seems to have a thinner abdomen than the one at the nest, which is obviously a female. This may turn out to be a male.
Please, don't link them if you are not absolutely sure that they are the same specimen.

They are two different specimens. I'm not sure why they are linked but I will unlink them. Thanks Beatriz.
