The nests gommon, yet 1 had never ide of one, 1 removed, a | The following May I opened it. Knowing very little abouts wasps | was surprised to find inside the nest, which was made up of a number of individual cells, several closed in a brown transparent caSe, The undeveloped wasps were white in colour and one, completely developed, |- showed signs of life, Most astonishing was the presence in some cells of small 'brown spiders, either dead or in a stupor; evidently gathered as food for the adult wasps to come. The mud dauber wasps, I learned later, stings thé spiders (not killing it) and packs'it in the cell, lay- ing an egg upon it and then fills the cell with more spidefs. In this way These mud daubers are, of 'course, not the yellow "wasps but the black that are so active in the hay mows of many barns during the summer months, Some of them had yellow bands about the lower part of their body. iv © The actual nest building is also an interesting procedure. . Each load of mud, carried from a nearby puddle, is flattened into a thin band stretching half-way around the cell. Bands are added first on one side and then on the other. _ bs : E These wasps are preyed upon by the Cuckoo wasp, a metallic geen in- sect, It lays an gE upon the baby mud dauber before the cell is closed. When the grub emerges it feeds upon the yayng mud dauber, finally killing it. The blue burglar is a common housebreaker of the mud dauber. It is steely-blue as distinet from -the black colour of the mud dauber, After the mud dauber has sealed an SR stocks up with a new supply of his own. It lays an egg on the last one and seals up the cell in an amateurish manner, : This wasp is never seen. standing on its head and digging in the mud as is" the mud dauber. Tustead it fills its mouth with water. angh uses this to "moisten the mud of the cell in order to break it open. It also softens the mud 'used for sealing by this method. Old mud dauber wasp cells are used by different kinds of insects and some bees as well as othex kinds of wasps. One Species of wasp, much smaller than the nud dauber, puts a partition 'in a cell oto make it two, Another species Wifilds its own small cells within those of the. mud dauber and still another species divides old mud dauber cells in three and stoves them with spiders. be Ls The Utica hockey team was elimin- ated in the first round of the play-offs hy Siloam with .a total-goal count of 6-4 in 2 games. - My, and Mys.
