Strange object

Does anyone know what this is. I saw it today at the top on the side of an old house.

Yea…don’t lick that…

Hornets nest.

Or poke/hit it with a stick…:shock::slight_smile:

Impressive!

Paper Wasp nest. See them all the time. Had one that was 2 feet by 4 feet inside an attic at the gable vent. Thank heavens it was abandoned.

Wrap it in a garbage bag drop an insect fogger in it and bring it home

Yeah, quite the wake-up when you prop a ladder against the side of a house, climb up underneath the open soffit and turn around only to come face-to-face with one of those.

I’ve had to throw away a couple of pairs of shorts that way.
