mini-daubers?
I've seen several insects hanging around my window frames, as if
looking for a home, that look like dirt-daubers, in that they are shaped like small wasps with a "stem" to their "waists", and fly like wasps or daubers, but they are only about 1/2 or 5/8 of an inch long. Is there a very small species of dirt-dauber or wasp native to this area, or are these more likely some sort of ant drone or queen? I had carpenter ants eradicated after they swarmed out of a window frame last spring, and they don't look like the winged ones of those. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

That might be what I've seen, it seems to be the right size and color, but the ones I've seen have more of a stem to their waist like a dirt-dauber.
