Then they'll lay an egg in side of a little hole and add a dead bug then they seal it up. When the baby wasp is growing it will eat the dead bug and later on it will hatch out. In other parts of the country it's called a dirt-dobber.
So if they are actually WASPS, why does my husband say that they won't sting like wasps and bees??? I'd love to prove him wrong.... guess I'll have to do a little internet search.
