The wasp I saw landed on a pink peony, apparently to get the water droplets, since it didn’t try to get inside the petals. Then it flew up to a nest it was building just overhead, under the rain gutter! Then it did it again.
Mud wasp. Or “mud dauber” as the late Mr Daniels would say.
I just finished watching the last episode of the “Endeavour” series, and I really hope they make a seventh season, because this one was about tying up loose ends and a bunch of new starts. I will now start to watch them from the first season again. Excellent actors. Stupendous writers! Worth watching, for sure.
