Re: Yellowjackets

My 35mm photos came back and those pics were equally as clear as those I
posted from the digital.  I showed it to the Hort Ed who said it still
looked like a lacebug.  So I googled it again and the pics came up in a
different order and this time, yes, I saw photos that looked like my bug.
the thing that I can't match up, can't find a picture of, is the cotton they
carry behind them.  That's why it's hard for me to be condfident in the
lacebug ID.
