I’ve got an #IDme question—about fauna this time. Because I glanced at the wall around my front door a week ago and saw this:
Gotta say that—while I’m a live-and-let-live kinda gal (except for
people who violate parking regs), meaning that insects live outside and I live
inside—I did not like the looks of that structure. Especially right next to my
door.
So I scraped it off. Some part of the contents squirted me, which
sent me inside screaming for the shower. I assume I’d destroyed some bug’s
progeny, and I’m sorry about that, but even insects have to learn that location
is everything in housing choices.
Anyone got any notion of whose nursery this was?
One of the mud daubers, perhaps Trypoxylon politum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_pipe_mud_dauber
ReplyDeleteOh. Then maybe I shouldn't have smashed their home? Um.
