When we returned from the trip to Florida, I found a small dirt-dauber nest in my car (I'd left the windows down since it was in the garage anyway). When I broke it open, I was surprised to find that it was full of spiders! Turns out, that's what these insects do: they pack the cells full of spiders for the larvae to feed on. Gruesome, huh?? I showed the boys, and there were two reactions: one of them started stomping on them, the other picked a few up to look more closely.

I am guessing J did the stomping and LR did the looking. That is an interesting discovery and something I did not know about these insects!
