A Blue Mud Dauber Wasp builds nests for its larvae in small electrical socket holes in electrical boards in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 20, 2026. Mud daubers, solitary wasps that create hard mud nests, can pose fire and electrocution hazards by potentially causing short circuits, trapping moisture, and overheating components.
