Wasps can be scary, but sometimes fascinating too. We often have porch wasps that have never bothered us and build a nest near the ceiling of the porch ( 10 ft. up); once in a while, one would come within arms length and simply hang in place and appearing to study us a bit, then fly off.
Rob and I once spent the better part of almost an hour watching a wasp capture and then try to carry a bug as big as she was back to that porch nest! She would grasp it and struggle to carry it a couple feet at a time, we were close enough to hear her wings just working! She finally got it all the way up there though and Rob and I laughed at ourselves for being so intent on watching her struggles and determination.
Had some one threaten to spray the nest once and we both told him to stuff it, the wasps had their ways and we had ours without any troubles!
