This wasp uses pulp to make nests under eves and trees

• A. Umbrella
• B. Yellow jacket
• C. Mud dauber
• D. Hornet

Answer: (A)

Wasp groups are often distinguished by what they use to build their nests. This one creates nests from chewed wood fibers mixed with saliva, forming a papery material. That papery nest is typically umbrella-shaped and hangs under eaves or from branches, giving the classic “umbrella” appearance. So the key clue is the nest made from pulp rather than mud or solid papery envelopes, which points to the umbrella (paper) wasp. Mud daubers craft mud tubes, hornets build larger enclosed papery nests, and yellow jackets usually nest in cavities or underground, not with the open umbrella-style nest.
