Mud-dauber wasp (Chalybion californicum)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Also called Blue Mud wasp, and it definitely is a lovely blue, especially as photographed here by Barry. These wasps, as the name suggests, build mud nests, one of many species of wasps to do so. They feed almost exclusively on spiders.
