Potter wasp nest (Eumeninae)

Near North Bay

Found on a stem of Timothy grass, this perfectly formed little clay pot is the nest of one of the potter wasps. It is so beautifully made, like something a human potter might create. But this is the work of a wasp!

This is remarkable, yes, it would be a fine piece of pottery if made by a person.
