Careful...wasp(?) nest on Penny Lane

Post by sherri » Wed Sep 10, 2008 8:00 am

There is a small, active nest in the crack. I felt something odd when I stuck in a hand jam--thought it was a pine cone until visual inspection showed it to be otherwise. :shock: Fortunately, it was still cool and early enough in the morning that they weren't in the mood for retaliation.

It's about halfway up the route: when you get to a stance where you are standing on a little rounded pedestal, it will be at head level right behind the place where the crack is narrowest.

That's what I was thinking--not the sort of thing you're expecting to encounter on such a well-travelled route, either. They picked a prime piece of real estate. 8)

Only golf-ball size. But it has several residents.
