I guess this old glove isn’t mine anymore.
Glad I noticed the new residents before trying to put it on. Any guesses as to the species? Maybe some type of mud dauber? I guess I’ll just leave it alone and see if they emerge in the spring.
Yes, mud dauber, frightening but kind, rarely sting, and not that harmful
They would probably sting when disturbed tho
Infants in the glove are pre-stingy (takes some time out of the mudshell-papoose before their stingers harden, right? Wasp pubescence, brought to all by air.).
Stands to reason, untended (by adult wasps) mud dressed larvae can be relocated stinger- free.
Motivation to start an atrium? Or murder. Or sacrifice the gloves to the WaspBiome.
Damn answers leading to more questions.
An atrium?
Atrium/arboretum.
A grow space for bugs & plants is what I was thinking of. The best word or phrase to relay that is elusive to me currently (darn mental secretary taking a lunch or coffee break)
Unless it is a plane
