What are muddobbers?

Muddobbers, commonly known as mud daubers, are a type of solitary wasp belonging to the family Sphecidae. They are named for their unique nesting behavior, where they create nests from mud, often found in sheltered areas like eaves or under overhangs. These wasps are generally non-aggressive and primarily feed on Spiders, which they use to provision their nests for their larvae. Muddobbers play a beneficial role in controlling spider populations.
