I'm hoping someone can tell me what I almost walked into this morning. They were crawling all over whatever this is - At first I thought wasps, but the nest doesn't seemed shaped right. Something different today. My guess is the red wasp.
It does look as if you've captured red wasps hard at work, and just at the beginning of their building project. Hopefully they're not extremely close to your home. You managed to take a really good picture — the color's so rich and true and the detail's amazing. Even that angry look on the forefront face is well captured.
Thanks so much for the comment shared on my macaw collage (and likely many pictures before it. I'm so behind in my thank you notes, it may take the rest of the year to get caught up.) I agree that you can see different aspects of RaneBeau's personality in the collection of pictures chosen for the collage. If only you could see the other 25 that didn't get to be included! He's a clown, a ham, a good ball, and a real sweetie.
Great capture. This looks like a paper wasp nest. Be careful not to disturb the wasps. They get nasty when they are disturbed when they are building the nests (first hand experience).
Well spotted and captured. It's a source of amazement to me how many different constructions there are of wasp nests and wild bee hives. A bit like the varying architecture in different human nations I suppose.
