wasp nest

i found a wasp nest in my bird feeder, of all places, and bailey was right there to investigate the situation.


as you can see in this shot, several of the cells are occupied by larvae. one of the grubs has even spun his silk cap over the top and if we hadn't removed the nest, in a few more days he would have emerged as a wasp.


until we meet again my friends-
