Paper Wasp 3

This one is setting up shop in the patio. Yes, it is upside down.
One egg is laid in each cell. As she adds more cells around the edge, eggs are deposited. Larvae in the center are older with the younger larvae further out. It is the cells at the rim of the nest which contain eggs. After eggs hatch, the queen feeds the young larvae. When larvae are ready to pupate, cells are covered with silk, forming little domes over the individual openings. Larvae pupate, emerging later as small, infertile females called "workers."

Not a great picture but I love the fact that they send one lone fellow up first to look around and then he watches the rest as they do the slow climb up to join him. See the rest of the set for better photos.
