Default question for the entomologist

Hi garden folks, I hope you will excuse my entomology question to this
gardens group, I remember that there is an entomologist (at lease one)
among us! Anyway, my question, there are some wasps using the Carpenter
Bee holes in my fascia boards. The wasps are shaped like paper wasps, I
don't know whether they're black or brown in color, but they use the
holes, I suspect to lay eggs, and then they fly up with a piece of
grass, the stem and blade, and put it into the hole. Right now there
are about a dozen pieces of grass sticking out of the fascia board on
one side (north) of my house. Any idea what type of wasp this might be?
I love this stuff and am very curious!
Thanks,
Eileen
