User's notes

This small sand wasp made its nest in the fold of an old t-shirt used to clean gardening tools. The t-shirt is draped over the arm of a patio chair. On 22 March I was resting in an adjacent chair when a small insect flew into the t-shirt. When I looked closer I was amazed to see a nest in progress. Then on 30 March I noticed that the entrance hole has been sealed!
