Anyway...Not sure why my other comment posted twice.<br />Anyway, not sure if I have seen those. They aren't as 'waspy' looking as the wasps we have.<br /><br />I know we get yellow jackets, or the ones that nest on the ground; and I know we have black widows. I try to remember to wear gloves whenever I have to touch something that hasn't been touched in a while; but I can't swear we have the mud daubers.<br /><br />They are pretty though. Thank you for sharing that knowledge with us, Gail. :-)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-36792466704287807372015-06-16T14:28:13.208-05:002015-06-16T14:28:13.208-05:00I don't think I have seen one around here.

Also, Very interesting links, especially since the Black Widow spider was like the worst of them all, and totally deadly, and it's good to know they're not as horrible as I thought.
