It's amazing how a creature can build such a complex structure from instinct alone - no drawings/plans to follow (!)

 

Should the nest get out of control, I'd feel really guilty having to remove it - i.e. after having seen the work that has gone into its build by one single queen wasp.

 

AMAZING!!!
