User's notes

I understood these to be mud wasps. They are not aggressive, they have not stung me. I let them live and breed under my house as I understand they eat termites. they build their homes in corners and crevices.

They are slow moving (for a wasp...). A bit blobby in shape, round one might say & about 3 or 4 mm long & dark coloured.
