Showing inside the cells of the paper wasp nest. Paper Wasps are stingers !! These stingers prefer to build their nests in places that bring them in close contact to people.
An egg is laid in each of these cells. Larvae hatch from these cells and are fed by worker wasps......the main supply of food is nectar and caterpillars.
The Paper Wasp nests are developed by the female wasps who use a blend of saliva and wood to form single layer nests containing individual cells.
The size of the wasp nest can range from 1" to 18" or more.....(This was a fairly large one then). The old timers say the size of the nest can depend a lot on the warm weather and food supply..., and actually it makes a lot of sense.
