Larva in indicates that it might be a complete metamorphosis

Judging from the green wasp larva and the pieces of the nest I think I see, I say the wasp is a Potter or Mason Wasp in the subfamily Eumeninae see then here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/249/bgpage

The cats look to me like some kind of inch worm so that would mean they are in the Geometrid Moths family: http://bugguide.net/node/view/188/bgpage
