Ordered black hornets, he sent me purple hornets. After I expressed my displeasure in his shady selling technique he claimed they are "darker" than standard purple hornets so he decided to call them "black". I clarified numerous times I was expecting black hornets only and he assured me each time, that's what I would receive. I kept them in my system for about a month and a half to see if they would change color and they only became a more vibrant purple. I contacted the seller and he offered me a very minimal discount on a future order. this was obviously not satisfactory so I filed a claim with PayPal and they forced him to refund the entire purchase price.

Here's the photo he sent me:

BTW, I had black "hornets" five years ago that came in on a wild caught shipment, so I know they're out there....in the wild at least.
