My name is Daniel Breton and I am an independent filmmaker residing in
New York City.  I have recently completed a film called, "EAT-MATE-DIE
the Lives of Insects" which is now entered in festivals in the US and
Canada. am currently working on a film with the National Audubon Society
and Project Puffin, scheduled for production in June-July. I have a new
insect film idea.  It is going to be about the times in an insects life
that most people are unaware of.  For example, Most people know what an
adult June Beetle looks like as they clamor on our window screens during
summer nights, but most people don't realize that the beetle was once a
grub living under their lawn.  (You get the idea) The insects I want to
focus on are:  Hornets/Paper Wasps, Ants, Bees, June Beetles, Tiger
Beetles and Dragonflies. I am looking for someone to help me locate a
Hornet/Paper wasp nest, where I will be allowed to set up a temporary
blind (July to September). I will return to it on weekends during the
summer and fall, capturing the life of the colonies inhabitants. I am a
respectful person and will under no circumstances leave any debris or
trash on this property and I will remove my blind at the end of the
season, leaving no mess behind. I am hoping to find someone's help that
lives reasonably near New York City, as I would hope to be able to get
to the nest by train and then on foot. Any help regarding this would be
forever appreciated!  My email is: [log in to unmask] and my
