AI-generated narration of the LinkLens-written story only.
A window-cleaning chore turned up papery wasp cocoons tucked along storm-window tracks. Michael J. Raupp, writing for Bug of the Week, describes finding them in his own window, where they could spend the winter sheltered from weather and enemies. Inside each cocoon, he explains, a grass-carrying wasp larva that has fed on crickets transforms into a pupa.
Penn State Extension says grass-carrying wasps build nests from grass in tight spaces, especially window tracks. That makes a narrow strip of window hardware worth a second look during an ordinary household chore. It can hold more than dust, even if the nest is only a minor nuisance. But which Isodontia species made the cocoons in Raupp’s window?
