Anyone ever see a wasp nest like this before?

Saw it in Cuba, thought it was stunning.

It was vertical as opposed to the normal upside down hanging ones, they were really calm too, I was fooling around the nest catching curly tailed lizards that were hiding around it. Never got stung once.

I've never been stung, but I did a wasp extermination job with a massive "in the wall" nest, my partner had one somehow get into his bee suite and it stung him on the neck, he freaked out and ripped his helmet off and they really let him have it

Re: Anyone ever see a wasp nest like this before?

I got stung really bad by mud wasps. I was playing football in a field on the edge of a pond. I got tackled into the mud and swarmed by about 150 or so. I got carried away to an ambulance with roughly 120 stings. I would have been ok but they hit my face first and I got all turned around.

I get stung on average 10 times a year.. lol

I've only ever seen it once, and I've seen plenty of them around here, pests that you can't get rid of.
