Tried to attract some native Polistes and this was the result

I only saw a few Dolichovespula and the rest was just honeybees

Is this against the iNaturalist guidelines?

One of the users blocked me and I'm pretty sure they did it to stop me from IDing all of their Rhombodera latipronotom observations as Rhombodera latipronotom instead of R. valida. A certain number of users believe that R. valida is found in HK and that all specimens from there are R. valida (Even though they're definitely not) so there's a bit of a conflict going on.

Anyways, is blocking me to prevent me from IDing allowed? Thanks!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I finally found a C. americanus queen! Here are some pictures of her that I took before giving back her eggs. She was in a piece of firewood and already had a few eggs. The transfer was obviously stressful, so she unfortunately ate 3 eggs. Down to 6. Has anyone kept this species before?

Isabella Tiger Moth, (Pyrrharctia isabella) found in my room in Massachusetts

After releasing her, she immediately began to lay dozens of eggs!
