Wasp Nest

Paper Wasps and Yellowjackets gather fibers from dead wood and plant stems, which they mix with saliva to construct water-resistant nests of grey and brown papery material. This nest also included some layers of green. From a distance it looked smooth and brownish-grey, but up close it is a rich assortment of textures and colours. This part of the nest was very colourful.
