What is this nesting in my shed...some sort of insect from the size of it...paper wasp? If I knock it down, will they attack or does it contain larvae?

Mud Dauber wasp is my guess. I have never taken one down, but the maintenance crew at my apartment just scrapes them off when the turn up. I don't think they attack. Maybe wait until the colder hours when they're less active?

| Get some wasp spray and spray it. Wait a day then scrape it off. If you spray the perimeter of the area most wasps and mud daubers will not build a nest for about 6 months. |

Yeah looks like a dirt dauber. They eat spiders...The nest will be full of spiders that are stunned....They are fairly harmless

| The remaining question is whether or not mom is in the nest, or just eggs? From the pic it looks like something big inside. |
