Unfortunate Demise

The wasp nest had become increasingly unstable as the branch it was on had split and was thrashing
around in gusty winds. I watched it afterwards for a couple of days and saw no activity. Assuming
they abandoned the nest, I cut down. Evidently, a skunk found it and had a midnight snack!

Huge nest, what an interesting story. Probably good it's gone though. V

Poor things, it is unbelievable the amount of work that goes into making this paper nest... truly they are the papermakers of the insect world. A great shot showing the interior.
