These are the XXL wild wasps that were already living in the cabin when we moved in. The photo is taken from the inside, after they moved out & we had removed the interior tongue-&-groove to find them (using a stethescope!). They had their own entrance, through the outside cladding under the window edging, and apparently lived in tiers of residential units. Previously we had tried enticing them out with baits and traps, because they were obviously uncomfortable with us moving in - they couldn't sleep at night, and dozens of them would kamikaze dive-bomb the lights and the window panes, only to be swept up and thrown out in the morning. They finally moved out as the weather got cold in the Autumn. The interesting part is that although it was hard living together, (we did so for several months,) we were neither stung nor attacked by them.
