I guess this old glove isn’t mine anymore.
Glad I noticed the new residents before trying to put it on. Any guesses as to the species? Maybe some type of mud dauber? I guess I’ll just leave it alone and see if they emerge in the spring.
I can’t tell what I’m looking at, but the tag saying it might be wasps gave me chills lol
Well, I’m pretty sure they’re not yellow jackets. Those and bald faced hornets are ones to fear around here. Other wasps and bees are usually pretty chill in comparison. Fortunately, there’s no danger to me in squishing some pupae; just yucky.
I’ve seen bumblebee species that build little clay pots like that in a nest. Either way, they are usually friends and not foes.
