Sphex pensylvanicus
Looks very scary and couldn’t see any yellow.
In hives they made themselves
Kind of weird to see one in November but it was somewhat hot.
Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
Sphex pensylvanicus Is a digger wasp that makes underground nests. Your spotting is of bald-faced hornets and a gigantic nest. Don’t get too close to these because they will come out and vigorously defend their territory. Nice spotting!
