User's notes
An historical sighting. The wasp was side-lit for these images due to the location of the pot-shaped nest it was making. The wasp was observed over two days and was clearly recycling mud from an existing adjacent nest. The wasp was observed fetching water rather than balls of mud and was using the water to soften the adjacent mud before recycling it. The final image shows the wasp hanging onto a patch of wet mud in the process of removing some.
