Found a potter hard at work yesterday filling in a gap alongside the door as an ideal spot to place eggs and the food for the young.
It is one of the Potter Wasps of the family Vespidae, species a bit uncertain but think Pseudabispa Black-head mudwasp. It looks similar to the Large Potter Wasp but is much smaller and builds a much smaller mud structure.
The potter wasps are solitary and feed on flowers but prey on caterpillars as food for their young when they hatch.
