Mud Dauber Wasp: Master of Mud Architecture (Nest bulding behaviour)

 Mud dauber wasps are solitary insects that construct mud nests as brood chambers for their young. The female builds the nest by carrying mud balls to a protected location, like under a porch roof. Each cell within the nest is filled with paralyzed spiders, and a single egg is laid on one of them before the cell is sealed. The wasp larvae then feed on the spiders when they hatch.
Let's have a look on their nest building behaviour captured.
