Location of collection - Eastern Oregon, Found on a path separating a field from a school playground.

Date of collection - June 21, 2018.

Habitat of collection - Pathway, separating a field from a school park.

Lenght - 5mm.

Coloration, hue, pattern, and texture - Mostly all black, with light brown stripes starting on the gaster section.

Distinguishing characteristics - I think that she has two petiole nodes, but I'm not sure.

Anything else distinctive - Whenever she is exposed to light she runs back to her eggs and huddles around them.

Nest description - Could not find a nest.

Nuptial flight time and date - Did not see her or her colony have a nuptial flight.

Photos - Sorry for the bad image quality, I only had access to my iPhone.  Here they are: FvnN6u0
