BEGINNING OF OVULATION!!

sean0411 Feb 28, 2009 12:49 PM

Heres my Bumblee Female going through the beginning of her ovulation. She definitly has the "TAIL SUCK" that is often referred to. Ive been watching her like a hawk and it has seemed like forever for her to ovulate. I noticed her last night starting to really build and I knew she was heading into ovulation. Well here she is, im sure it will get even bigger and Ill snap some more pictures along the way.

Great pics of an ovulation. She looks like she swallowed a nerf football! Congrats. BTW, what did you breed her to?

Wallbanger,
ive documented all her stages thus far, lock-ups, laying inverted, the glow, ovulation, etc. Ive been lucky to catch each one. As far as her ovulation, I have been checking on her more often the past few weeks and noticed that the night before she went she definitly started to build more noticeably than before. So I knew something was going to happen.....................

Alicecobb,
she was bred to my Super Pastel.............

thanks for the comments.
