Neat site. I'm thinking of calling the extension service on Monday for
help.
After all, I do pay my taxes...

FWIW one of the local extension services in my area use to
handle calls like this via Master Gardener volunteers. It
was one of the niftier things for them, per a Master
Gardener trainee I once knew. You wouldn't believe the stuff
people call in/ask questions about.

I've been reading your posts for years now and there is a
really good chance that you will know more about this than
the people you are planning to call ;-)

No harm in trying though...

Several pictures of the nest and in situ would be really
helpful. I couldn't fully grok what this thing looked like
from your description.




I realized, while out among the daylilies today, that I had the prefect
resource - a fellow daylily nut that has a Ph.D in bugs! I'm going to try
and take a few pictures in the AM and mail them off to him.



La di dah, an Entomologist... how come we don't merit pictures... whadda we,
chopped liver? :-(



Can't post to the binary groups, no access.

And it's a moot point as the resident skunk or local raccoon got the nest
last night.
