Field Notes

Description:

Potter Wasps make there little mud pots, put some food in them and lay an egg and then close up the pot.

Habitat:

These are attached to the screen of our front entry way. The wasp I had originally with this picture only looked like a Potter wasp, but was actually a mimic of a wasp. So I am separating my pictures

Hi Alice. A little subdivision :-). Perhaps this should go to Arthropods since they belong to wasps. Cheers

I love those little pots! I'm a potter so I really appreciate those tiny talented wasps!
