Is a wasp good for the garden

Take a look at who's building a home :)

It's cool to see  the wet mud that has just been added.


I had always wondered if having a wasp set up home in your yard or garden was a good idea. Well I did a fast search and found this piece of information on the wasp:

"The predatory characteristic of many wasps are what makes them a beneficial insect to have in the garden. They are part of the natural gardener's arsenal against garden pests and instead of being hated should be loved, or at the very least tolerated. Right now I have tons of wasps buzzing around my garden eating aphids and the flies that are in abundance. "
