but I was pleased to get a yellow-rumped warbler. Cause I got a whole lot of “places a bird was a split second prior” shots.

This dragon is in honor of the mud dauber(s?) that now regularly find their way into my office. Not sure where they're getting in from, but they're super chill and they've afforded me the opportunity to make peace with my discomfort with wasp-shaped things.

Common blue mud dauber. #CommonBlueMudDauber #ChalybionCalifornicum #BlueMudDauber #MudDauber #Wasp #Insect #Animal #Nature #Photography #GlacialDrumlinTrail #CottageGrove #Wisconsin
A common blue mud dauber, a type of wasp, atop a fence railing. The was is facing right. It is a metallic blue color. The head appears to be black, with long black antennae sticking out and down. The legs are also long and appear to have the metallic blue on them as well.

Black and yellow mud dauber. #BlackAndYellowMudDauber #SceliphronCaementarium #MudDauber #Wasp #Insect #Animal #Nature #Photography #Madison #Wisconsin
A black and yellow mud dauber on a large leaf. The wasp is facing right and is at the outer edge of the leaf, which takes up most of the photo. The head is black, with long curved antennae. Its thorax is black with several yellow stripes and dashes. The waist is black and incredibly thin. The wasp's abdomen is mostly black with one large yellow circle around it where it joins with the waist. The legs alternate between black and yellow and its wings are clear, but reddish-brown in color.

Some Muddauber wasps built a nest on the north side of our house. Today, I saw that a spider built a web right in front of it. Muddaubers are big and that web isn't. That spider is either very confident or very stupid, or both.

Hot Date
No Bobs were hurt during production of this episode.

Mud daubers are solitary wasps, which use mud to construct their nests, somewhat similar to how swallows build theirs.

Lanternflies are actually much bigger, but Lenny was a sickly child and a nerd.

A mud dauber Wespa stands in front of a shop labelled "Jam & Jam: For some sweet time", which is selling jams and musical instruments. First "a" is drawn as a jam jar, and second "J" depicts a saxophone. - Finally made it! - said Wespa. - Hey! - someone squeaked cheerfully, startling Wespa. - What the- It was a very tiny lanternfly, an insect shaped roughly like a banana. - Excuse me, could you help me with something? I got in a storm and kinda need some directions. - I'm Lenny the Lanternfly, by the way! Oh, and, uh, would you be interested in joining our cause in search of enlightenment? - Hard pass. - No-no it's fun! - He continued cheerfully. - The witnesses of Wikipedia! Particle physics! Theory of All! Women! We know answers to greatest mysteries! - Could've been worse, - Sighed Wespa. - Speaking of answers, where's the closest airport?

When I lived in Texas we had Muddauber wasps that were pretty chill, I remember walking through swarms of them while doing barn work. Specifically the blue muddaubers were the ones I saw the most of because they’d primarily hunt black widows which that barn was full of!

Silent Neighbour
"Too bad he can't speak, not hear" - Wespa

"True, I would rock at karaoke!" - Waxmoth

"12th taco was a mistake, guys, you should run" - Bob
#somewhatnaturalcomics #webcomics #digitalart #waxmoth #muddauber #bombardierbeetle
A roughly spherical nest made out of mud, placed on a plank near a wall. Woods are seen in the distance. A small wax moth stands in front of the entrance. He has no mouth and shows symbol of moth with his hands. Unlike most of other insects in this comic, he has 5 fingers on each hand. Waxmoth (in hand signs): Did you know that great wax moth can hear sounds as high as 300 kHz? Humans (whatever that is), for example, can hear only up to roughly 20 kHz. The wax moth is surrounded by visions of everything: an atom, a roaring tiger, a creaking tree, a trumping elephant, a galaxy, a bat and a whale. Behind him a blue wavy spiral spins, indicating electromagnetic waves. Moth's face is brightened by the light of the galaxy. He shows the sign of Everything. Waxmoth: I hear everything! I hear the forces that hold the Universe together! The scene with full nest, next to wax moth stands a long and lean mud dauber Wespa (a solitary wasp, owner of the nest) and a bombardier beetle Bob. The moth shows sign for Reasonable. Waxmoth: But within a reasonable distance, of course, couple kilometres tops. Wespa: That's good and all, but what are you doing at my nest? A flashback to the moment Waxmoth was born. He pokes out of a honeycomb, and looked at by a baffled bee. Below the image of flashback is current Waxmoth, showing sign of Born. Waxmoth: Oh, I was born here! Long time ago, when here was a big hive, I just wanted to return to the roots, so to speak. Mind if I stay?

In Bee's Clothing
I'm not exactly sure if Cuckoo Bees are planting their eggs in Mud Daubers' nests, especially in Asia, but there are species of Cuckoo Wasps in Australia.

It was a calm warm day somewhere in Eastern Asia. A small mud dauber Wespa was sweeping away some dust in front of her spherical clay house. She's probably humming a tune, probably Bacon Pancakes. - Oh, hi! - said someone in trembling high-pitched voice. It turns out that behind her landed an unfamiliar bee, holding some odd round object. - Hello? - said Wespa, putting away her broom. - I'm your new neighbour, a carpenter bee from nearby farm! - said the stranger, who's name is Cookie, by the way. - I've got a present for you! - Oh, that's so nice of you... - Wespa reached for the round object, but suspicion made her hesitate. - Wait, is that an egg? At that moment a small pseudoscorpion Gary, one of Wespa's tenants, got here, attracted by the sound of commotion. - Het, Wespa, watchu- oof! Be careful with that one, it's a cuckoo bee, highly parasitic!

Now for another Webtoon/webcomic - Caravan: A Tale of Gods and Men, by @feathermage1 and Muddauber. This one is a neat fantasy adventure with many cultural inspirations, quality art, and dialogue that has a contemporary feel without being too internet-y. 9/10

Quite the Opposite
-We've decided to name our group "Just Weird"! Because we're not parasites, we're just weird! - Gary

-I sure do agree with you on second part... - Wespa

It is a calm warm day, soft breeze is gently rocking the trees not so far away from a simple painted wooden window sill. This sill is a home of a mud dauber named Wespa - a slender wasp, which builds her nest out of mud. She had a long work week, and now is about to have some rest: she places a deck chair to lie down and tan for a bit. - Finally, a nice moment of peace after a long busy week, - she smiles, unfolding a chaise-longue. She put her sunglasses and sat on a chair, unfolding a sun tan reflector. - Aah - Wespa sighed in relief as she laid down, closing her eyes. Suddenly some barely discernable noise echoed somewhere above, reminiscent to a screeching of a tiny, cute, but aggressive brain-eating animal from a 1998 shooter video game loved by millions of fans worldwide. Soon the screeching became too clear and loud to ignore. Wespa raised her sunglasses and looked up, visibly regretting this decision, as she had to squint hard against the sun. And that very moment a small tick-like creature with two long thin claws slammed on her face after what seems to be a very big fall.
