Woodworking Wasp

24 Sept 2011 Update
This wasp is actually called a Lesser Banded Hornet 
=======
Normally I spot the orange wasp drinking nectar.
Today I found one working hard on a wooden cable drum.
It appeared to be doing some woodworking.
I'll call this a Woodworking Wasp.


This wasp is scraping wood with its strong jaws.


The wasp rolled the wood pieces it scraped into a ball, sticking them together with saliva.


After quite a few minutes of scraping, it eventually flew away with its precious wooden ball.


The wasp flew around Pichu for a while, probably looking for an ideal spot to build its nest.


Pichu found that to be humorous.
Silly little wasp.
