On Sunday, 17 November 2014 we witnessed this amazing process.
A Mason Wasp was building brooding chambers.
We watched this process for more than 5hours. The wasp sometimes disappeared for 50 minutes and we thought it might have been caught.
On the paving of the Kokoriba Stoep at the Xombana Restaurant droplets of mud.

| Bringing another worm |
The caterpillars are incarcerated with the Mason Wasps eggs in a mud chamber.
 |
| Approximately six worms were pushed into the nest |

Have you ever asked yourself how it is possible that such a small creature can build a structure like this, know where to collect the material to do it, know how to put the caterpillars inside, lay their eggs and seal the chamber? We have one answer - God, the Intelligent Designer of the universe made this possible.
