Can you lay your hands on some larger HSB? I wouldn't panic though....just because the males build nests doesn't mean they are about to get out of control.....technically, there shouldn't many ladies present, and the boys are just going through the motions, mostly for nought.

They were 2" in Oct of last year, and they're spawning now?


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
