Black and Yellow Mud Dauber
They encompass a very skinny and long waist with black and yellow markings on the thorax and abdomen.
Mud daubers are an extremely small group of Sphecidae wasps. As the name implies, they construct mud nests. They are lonely wasps, so their nests do not consist of a colony of workers.
They nourish on spiders and usually are not considered aggressive towards humans. However, at times they can be considered a nusiance because of their liking to build nests residential areas beneath a porch or doorway.
