It's egg, After that she gathers a bunch of caterpillars that she paralyzes and puts them into the brood cell so her larva will have something to feed off. And then close the entrance to block the predators and parasites. When the young wasps grow up they'll be able to break it.
This is really cool. I had a neat interaction with one today after watering some stuff in the yard and wanted to come watch one build a nest. Thank you for this!
Seeing one for the first time was kind of funny. It did a little dance, then it went bzzz bzzz bzzz and tapped it's antennae in the mud as it made a little mud ball. They're very docile.
Did anyone see mud daubers fly carrying mud pots? The pots were tiny, black. It's like cartoon characters came to live. I had seen this when I was a child.
really amazing it takes a lot of effort to show everything clearly . till now i was thinking of how and which type of mud does it collects but now i don't have any doubt about that. thank you 😇😊☺👏.
