Structure Attached to Grill - Sceliphron caementarium
Tracys Landing, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
October 21, 2014
Any ideas? We found a hardened structure attached to our grill. We removed it, and opened it with a hammer. Any idea what it was. Unfortunately the creature was not well photographed after we broke it open. I will post a couple more photos.
