Hello monsieur herp and bird, I come bearing pictures of a wasp nest I took down for my dad(he's deeply allergic). It's winter and I've been observing this nest for months now, and even before temperatures dropped below freezing, I was almost fully certain that there were no remaining wasps inside.
I tried to keep it as much in one piece as possible, but it had sustained damage from a branch that fell and shredded the entrance
The Comb... any information you wanna share on combs would be cool
The Shell - idk the proper word for it. But here it is
As I pulled out the comb from the shell, I noticed that there was a lil guy still half way in one of the hexagons...
I gently pulled it out in hopes of getting pics for an ID. Idk how hard it is to identify wasps but I feel like you're the guy for it, so I felt like I'd shoot my shot. I'd love to be able to tell my dad what kind of wasp it was lol. No worries if you can't ID it :]
Location-wise, this was in my backyard, in northern ontario
And happy new years! Hope the new year has been treating you well so far :]
