The total stem length of colony was about 1m, .5-1.0cm inner dia. There was one physogastric queen, no other reproductives. At two entrance sites they had built small globular carton dwellings, 2cm across and packed with workers and brood. The section of hollow stem near the queen was entirely plugged with a mass of eggs and young brood. Also contained Microdon puparium.
