I found this wasp's nest in an old cubboard in my shed
a truly work of art.

It's amazing how even the less pleasant aspects of nature can surprise you - that's lovely.

It is gorgeous, and I wonder what it feels like? My son has just seen an old wasps nest last week,but I didnt know they looked like this. I wonder if he'll bring it home for me

they are truly amazing structures, turned over it will have a mass of "honeycombs" on the inside

I got a wasp continually flying past me in my shed and I found it was making a nest right by my ear under a shelf. It was brilliant to watch.
