Each one is amazing and the last one is phenomenal.

Thank you for sharing these incredible creatures and their papery home!

Poor dumb animals, not knowing any better, built their nests (two of them!) in the doorframe of our front door. I got stung twice just exiting the door. Couldn't think of a way to move them safely. Maybe a smoke gun, like beekeepers use would have worked ? (Not that I had one on hand.)

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
