		Mud daubers are wasps varying in size from medium to large, usually around an inch.
		The most familiar aspect of mud daubers is their nest which is made of mud or clay and attached against houses, under eaves or bridges, and often inside garages.
		The mud cells are lined with insect larvae or spiders which have been paralyzed by the female's venom and a single egg is laid in each cell.

		Mud daubers may become a nuisance when they construct nests of mud, especially on porches, decks, sheds, eaves, attics, ceilings, walls and under roof overhangs around homes and other structures where people live, work and play.
		The organpipe mud dauber builds finger-like nests of mud attached to flat surfaces under roof overhangs, under eaves, etc. The nest is a series of parallel mud tubes of varying length, like a pipe organ with several or many tubes in a row.
		Mud dauber wasp queens use their sting to paralyze their prey (spiders) rather than to defend their nests.

	Mud Dauber Wasps \| Iowa Insect Information Notes
		Mud daubers are solitary wasps that construct small nests of mud in or around homes, sheds, and barns and under open structures, bridges and similar sites.
		Mud is rolled into a ball, carried to the nest and molded into place with the wasp's mandibles.
		The fl and yellow mud dauber builds a series of cylindrical cells that are eventually plastered over with mud to form a smooth mud nest about the size of a fist.

		Globs of mud in the corners or door-ways, under eaves, and in other sheltered locations around your school building are the handiwork of this fascinating group of wasps.
		Mud daubers are solitary, not social, wasps; they live on their own and do not have a structured social order.
		Mud daubers build cells of mud, in each of which they lay a single egg, provision it with food, then seal the cell; a single female wasp will produce many mud cells.

	Welcome to the World of the Mud Daubers
		Mud daubers are found throughout the United States.
		Mud daubers are solitary wasps, they are not social and do not live in colonies.
		The aphecinae mud daubers overwinter as full-grown larvae, pupate in the spring, and emerge shortly thereafter.

		One kind is called the Organ Pipe Mud Dauber, because the mud chambers it creates for its larvae to live within are elongated, and lined up side by side much like the pipes of a large pipe organ or calliope.
		Another common kind is called the Black and Yellow Mud Dauber, and unfortunately the females of this species are not nearly the architects that the Organ Pipe wasp is, making their mud chambers look more like someone just took a blob of mud and threw it against the wall.
		If you find a mud dauber wasp or a velvet ant that somehow has managed to make it into your home, hopefully you can find a jar to put it in and deposit it back outside, where it can continue to help you in your bug control efforts in the garden.

		Because mud dauber wasps and spiders both adapt so easily to building nests on manmade structures, there are probably more mud dauber nests today than there have ever been.
		Mud daubers are also plagued by other parasites such as velvet ants, cuckoo wasps, tiny mites, and pirate flies.
		Immature mud daubers are quite loosely contained in their cocoon, and it appears as though the empty space in the mud dauber cocoon is too large to permit the wasp's short ovipositor to reach the host's body.

		Although I think of mud daubers as wasps, all sphecids are more closely related to bees than to the vespid wasps (Ross and Matthews 1991).
		Mud daubers make use of spiders to provision their cells: Sceliphron uses crab spiders, orbweavers and jumping spiders in particular (Evans and West-Eberhard 1970).
		Although considerable time is spent provisioning cells, mud daubers do not usually stay on the nest at night, but fly to nearby bushes or structures to sleep.
