Info from Licensor: "The insect in the image is a Potter Wasp (also known as a potter wasp or potter wasp), which belongs to the subfamily Eumeninae. This type of wasp is known for building characteristic nests in the shape of clay "pots" or "cocoons," like the one shown in the image. Female potter wasps build these nests using soil and water, which they knead with their mouths and shape with their front legs. Inside these nests, they lay eggs and store paralyzed prey to feed the larvae. Potter wasps are solitary wasps and are generally not aggressive toward humans unless they feel threatened."
