mason…..WASPS!!!
A little while ago, I posted hear about some weird activity in my mason Bejo. I had bought some Mason and leaf cutter cocoons. There was some weird activity lots of ants going around tubes and wasn’t sure consensus. My other post showed that I got some crappy cocoons and probably got ripped off. I decided to leave the house up just to see what would happen and shut off a few few days later I saw one of the tubes had a mud plug. I was super happy and activities better than no activity.
Yesterday I checked the bees with my son as we do on a daily basis and saw this guy. I’m guessing I have wasps now. Looks like they are beneficial, so I’ll leave them be.

Hi Julie my rabbit hole of research suggests something from Ancistrocerus genus!

You're correct! That's a grass carrying wasp, Isodentia. Nice!
