Hey all,
It's been quite wet in Harrisburg, PA lately. Last evening I returned home and found what I believe to be a queen in my house. She's been placed in tubing with cotton and water (she has laid at least 2 eggs). Anyone able to identify her based on these pictures?
Where: Harrisburg, PA
When: May 22nd, 2010
Habitat: Home floor. Brick house, floor is wood. She was hiding in a corner inside front door on a wet day.
Coloration: All black with black/grey striped rear.
Distinguishing Chars: Uncertain.
Length: appx 24mm
She's quite long, approximately the diameter of a US quarter. These are the best pictures I'm able to get at the moment:
Any preliminary ideas are welcome.
Many thanks!
