    Why do some of the post get moved, beetles were in the garden, looked like the right place to put them. I have a wasp to post, if its not to go here, let me know where I have to put it.

    I just moved this one to Members Gallery. A picture of an insect found in your yard or somewhere else that you wanted to share with the members would be posted here.

    Including the name of the insect, information about whether they are harmful or helpful to plants, what they eat or if there is a way to attract them to your garden or keep them out, would make it a topic for discussion and a learning experience. Then the Wildlife in the Garden forum would be where it belongs since it would then fit the criteria for that forum.
    ;)

    Gorgeous close up Kildale.

    Just to follow up a bit on what Toni said, the unspoken guideline for us moderators is that if a topic's first post contains just images with little text then this classifies the topic as a Member's Gallery type topic.

    They build their nests out of mud and catch spiders which they then place in the nest cells. They lay a single egg in each. When the egg hatches it feeds on the waiting stung spider.
