I did not get to walk far but almost at the very beginning was this wonderful nest. Cool looking isn't it? Almost looks like its made out of stone but of course it is not. Would anyone happen to know what type of nest this is? Thanks for your help. :-) Pelle Click the image for an enlarged view. bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a) October 14, 2007 2:15 PM Post #4082052 You mean what kind of yellowjacket? claypa West Pottsgrove, PA (Zone 6b) October 14, 2007 2:19 PM Post #4082065 [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] Definitely one of the Polistes / Paper Wasps...
