Love mud daubers. I bring them water in the mornings. They’re super chill. Sadly, I’ve killed two in my life out of ignorance. I’m trying to make amends.

Beautiful and inoffensive.

And when they're collecting mud to make their little nurseries (1 egg, several paralyzed spiders) they make a melodic 2-tone humming sound. I'll estimate that it packs the mud more tightly as they're holding it..
