Tube-shaped wasp nests
Covered sitting area near a creek in a park
We have these "nuissance" wasps in our barn and they build these organ pipe nests on the walls -- when they dry, they're like concrete!
I have watched them being built. It is fascinating to watch a wasp get a ball of mud in its mouth and fly to the nest and construct it - one mouthful at a time.
