How To Build A Mud Hut.

Abispa ephippium
The Potter Wasp is a large wasp. The abdomen is orange and black, and the thorax is black with orange triangle at the shoulders. The antenna and legs are orange-yellow. Potter Wasps are solitary and build a mud pot-shaped nest attached to a tree trunk or side of a building. They can sting but are not aggressive.
Females build a mud nest with many cells. She lays an egg inside each cell and encloses a caterpillar in the cell for the developing wasp larva to feed on. The larva pupates in the mud nest and emerges as an adult wasp.

@budmaster555666 Why? These wasps rarely sting and don't live in swarms like European wasps.

[budmaster555666]
