So, I went outside to get some fresh air after being sick with the flu for a few days. I remembered I have yet to take down a "problem" that was in my shed since summer. When I first noticed it late summer, I thought I should wait until it's cold outside so "taking care of it" wouldn't bother its residents.

Take a look at the pics HERE.

Well, they were a few thousand of them flying around during the day. It's not often I go near that shed, so they accumulated FAST. I waited until night when it was cold to spray them beeeeeeeeeetches.

Dude.....i absolutely hate wasps!!! If i saw something like that, i would seriously start freaking, and running for the house......however, with bee's im totally cool with.

Holy ****! That is unlike anything I've ever seen. We've got paper wasps all over the property. I only have ever seen one exposed layer, sometimes up to 6 or more inches in diameter. That looks like a damn hornets nest!

Where are the residents?

Man that is pretty cool. It is amazing that something as pesky as wasps and bee's can actually do if left alone......Those are pretty cools pics man.

i once took apart a wasp nest, got 22 baby lavre in all from in my garage. took them apart and out of the wholes carefully.. ranging from a lil white slug, to big slug, to big yellow slug with legs and eyes, and so on, all the way up to a brownish yellow covered in goo, nearly full sized wasp, that when i got him out of the nest, and slit his lil sac open, actually walked a few inches................ basically the nest was not there for that long, those things grow fast, and develop faster, i set there playing for a few hours and was amazed at teh different levles.. all with a piece of board to lay em out on in order, and a hobby knife.

do wasps sting pretty bad?

I think they sting like yellow jackets. Hornets seem to hurt a little more.

Yep, it was pretty cool. I was looking up the different type of nests and I think it's a paper wasp nest. They are also called "umbrella wasps"....I think. The residents are long gone. I went out there armed like a S.W.A.T. dude complete with flashlight, thick jacket, hood, and most important - 2 big cans of RAID.

Thanks, I thought they were pretty interesting. Like you said, left alone, they can build some amazing stuff. The way that nest was put together, you would think someone with a engineering degree made the plans. Evolution at its best...clearly.
