Knock knock, it's the mud dauber :D

Hopefully some new critters to photograph from our house in Cyprus. Found a mud daubers nest in one of our window frames and had to get some shots. Unfortunately, my wife is allergic to wasp stings so I had to get rid pretty quick. Sprayed the inside with insecticide but as I was disceting, I think mum came back and was not very pleased, so I had to scrape it off the window frame. Shame as I'm sure it would have been fascinating inside, but my wifes health is more important!

Looke like a spider?

Apparently mummy wasp puts food in there for the young to feed on, like a spider. That's what I thought when I looked as well, definitely a spiders leg in there.
