Mud Daubers Wasp Collecting Water - Animal India

Mud dauber wasps soften nests using water to take them over and lay their eggs. They carry water in their mandibles to moisten the mud for nest repairs or modifications. In this instance, a mud dauber wasp is collecting water from waterlogged leaves during the rainy season in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 15 September 2025.
