Isodontia sp
A carpenter bee chamber has been taken over by a type of thread waisted wasp which lines it's nest with grass and other plant fibers.
Forest margins
Some of these fibers are very long and come from a nearby cabbage palm. Squirrels have been harvesting them for their nests. Hard to believe that a little wasp can accomplish this. I have seen carpenter bee holes with grass sticking out of them before. But nothing like this.
