Clay pot nests made by a Eumenes wasp

Nestled on an American elm leaf, two little clay pot nests made by a potter wasp in the genus Eumenes. Imagine, a small (stingless) wasp makes these nests, one mouthful of mud and water at a time!!

A secure site for eggs it would seem, though your subsequent photos suggests not. Remarkable constructions.
