persephone Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) This nest has been used for two years- this is its third The wasp pair are redoing a doorway/tunnel with fresh mud..they have 'bricked over' an old entranceway. I was fortunate enough to witness a mating too They have to be careful of just where they put their stings! Luckily these guys are not at all aggro..I can get very close . Oh- it's the male with that glorious yellow patch on his head. Edited January 14, 2010 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkon Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Cool pics!!! We have a new nest right next to the back door, seems a shame to 'move' it, so will most likely leave it there for a while. They are incredible insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I like having them around- they are much more 'trustworthy' than the feisty paper wasps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
