Potter Wasp Brood Cells

Eumeninae sp.

Description:

Potter Wasps use mud to form little brood cells shaped like "urns" or "pots" that protect their larvae until they are ready to spring forth into the world.

Habitat:

You can find their handiwork stuck to leaves, twigs, walls, lighting fixtures, you name it! With a keen eye, you can spot them about anywhere. These were all spotted same-day around our house.

Notes:
