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.

Ive been at this a few years and had about 70 clutches now and Ive only caught 1 ovultion. how long of a period of time were you snapping photos?

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.
