Thank you, Maria, and thank you Michael! I am very pleased to have been able to contribute and happy that my efforts have benefited everyone in some way. Soon we will have more of these strange and miraculous findings. A matter of time! ;)

Thank you Mark, Leuba! Well... Mark, thanks for the suggestion but I don't know... I think there is an important detail here. These wasps are yellow in the image because they are newborns (less than 1 hour born). I suppose they will get darker over time and, who knows, after longer black as their supposed father (or mother!) in the first picture. Maybe they look more like this one https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17... I should have preserved them for another 1 or 2 days to clear this doubt, but it's OK! :)

As I promised, it's there! New photos added (photos 2 to 6). To my surprise, the hatching happened inside the jar I used for collection as soon as I put the nest inside it. The nature is amazing! Hope this helps in identification.

Oops! I was forgetting to say that our little black friend there in the picture has to do with our dilemma!
