hey buddy

i see these r still linked..how did u do that? and should i post this to the wasp and then the moth andso on? do you think all the pics i have here really adds anything? or should i just stick with the moths?

I just moved 'em one at a time

No need to post photos multiple times--you can just add thumbnail links to the other pages. I think it's neat to see all the different bugs using one old nest. What I would do is put thumbnails of all the related pics below the photo of the nest, and then just put a thumbnail of the nest below each of the pics that link back to it. (Like what I did here.) If you keep them linked then you risk having some meddling editor unlinking them, or accidentally moving the whole lot of them when intending to move just one.
I don't see the moth pics you're talking about...

the moths are still caterpillers in the nest

they are in that fuzzy part thats webbed..they will hatch out in spring i presume or summer..im still trying to cut one out without cutting it out to get a cat pic

Oh, I see

You can move the nest back to moths if you want, but how do you know what kind they are?

… Charley Eiseman, 15 January, 2011 - 10:22am

vespula vulgaris
