Superb!

Do you know what kind of wasp it is?

It is a paper wasp aka umbrella wasp. Those are the ones that build nests
like upside down umbrellas, honey-combed. They are gentle insects, like
honey-bees. They eat insects and nectar and are considered to be beneficial.
I have them all over my garden, and we get along just fine. I've seen them
build nests in alcoves, entry ways to buildings and you could stop and look
at them with your head 2 feet away from the nest, and they would just ignore
you.
