There is a wasp nest in the backyard. I have never seen one before and it is fairly interesting. It is made out of paper and wasp saliva. The picture above is upside down - it is hanging from a narrow concentrated piece of paper. You can see once wasp is sort of underneath the hive. Eventually the wasp grubs are supposed to grow in each of the cells. We noticed the nest, because our dog Toby was very disturbed by its presence. The wasps arent all that interested in him and they arent stinging Toby or any other passerby they are just getting along with their work. It seems a shame to knock it down, but it might be dangerous to leave it as is with a growing number of wasps. I am not afraid of most insects- as long as they dont crawl on me, so I was considering knocking it down and then running away like a madwoman indoors. On closer inspection I would prefer that someone else does it, maybe if I asked really, really nicely TWN would fly over and do the deed for me. Umm... not so much.
