This is a cosmopolitan wasp of Vespidae subfamily, it is also recognize as a separate family of Eumenidae.
These wasp are very diverse in nest building and mostly you can find mason wasp nest on masonry walls, thus the name mason wasp. The potter wasp nest are shaped like a pot thus the name potter wasp. Potter Wasp is a great engineering insect as most insects are that builds its nest in diverse spaces, from electronic screw shaft holes to underground or exposed nest. They collect beetle larvae, spiders, or caterpillars to serve as food for a single wasp. The Mason Wasp mostly feeds on floral nectar. If you are near wild flowers you should be able to spot the mason wasp (potter wasp).
If you see clay projections around your house...you are lucky, it most likely is a mason wasp nest, observe it! you will be amazed at your observation progression..
Who said insects can't think? Then how do they build such a complex structures and remember where they are etc. etc.?
If you love insects of all kinds, share this video etc. etc.
I am creeped out by insects! But I Love Them At The Same Time! and love filming them!. Before you creep out...give them a chance and observe...you will discover a whole new UNIVERSE. Do not swat them, let them be, they are an awesome part of our lives.... I'm still rrrrrr! creeped out by the thought...but am starting to creep out less once I start observing more and more...It is AMAZING! AWESOME! High Five Moment!... No longer an instinct as Scientist claim.
