Strange colors inside the wasp nest! I just noticed this late last night. Not sure what is going on here...something hatching?
You might remember when I posted the first few images of this wasp nest a while back. I noticed that everything was covered in this mud, then not long thereafter I saw these four holes. I thought the baby wasps had left, but now I see these strange colored fillings in the holes anddon'tknow what to think.I'll have to keep watching and find out I guess :)

Update on wasp nest
A fast update on the wasp nest that was built right above one of our windows.
It looks as if a few little ones already left!

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. "
