Explaining Insects 🦋 on Instagram: "Mud daubers are solitary wasps known for building tube-shaped nests out of mud on walls, ceilings, and other sheltered surfaces. Unlike social wasps, they are generally non-aggressive and rarely sting unless handled. Mud daubers hunt spiders, which they paralyze and store inside their nests as food for their larvae. Despite their intimidating appearance, they help control spider populations and usually avoid contact with humans. Follow @explaininginsects for
