A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
The sound in the video is coming from this wasp. There were other burrows nearby with one other wasp visible. I am not sure if each is an individual burrow or if they are connected to a larger nest. In the video the wasp doesn't appear until 26 seconds during which the sounds can be heard until it appears. I am not sure if it is laying eggs in there or building a home. It is fun to think about what it is trying to accomplish.
Dry Mangrove habitat at the time of this series.
I am having trouble getting the video to upload here. Here is the link if you can't wait for it to take here.

I learned recently it may be a Masons Wasp but I have trouble verifying that. It may change colors during times of breeding?
it is digging it's burrow, like an ant, or a crab. I will add a video to this spotting as well.
