1. Location (on a map) of collection: Half an hour drive from Nafplion,Greece
2. Date of collection: August 22nd
3. Habitat of collection: Literally on the beach,surrounding area has fields of olive trees
4. Length (from head to gaster):3 mm
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: shiny black
6. Distinguishing characteristics: Extremely small,gaster suggests she might not be fully claustral?
7. Distinguishing behavior:none
8. Nest description: none

9. Nuptial flight time and date:August 22nd collected at 8 am


Do you guys think she might be paraditic or non claustral?Thanks in advance:)

Thank you!Are they fully claustral?

They are semi claustral, so will need feeding during the founding stage.
