Symmorphus species nests in Queen Anne's Co., Maryland (5/17/2015). Determined by Matthias Buck/BugGuide. Per Matthias Buck, "Interesting images! This species does not construct mud tubes. What's happening here is likely that these females are reutilizing empty mud nests of another species. This behaviour occurs regularly in some potter wasps (e.g., certain Ancistrocerus) but I am not sure it was known for species of Symmorphus."
