I found this attached in a storage drawer.

We live on a farm so we share the house with bugs of all sorts.

Feral bees in a vent wall recess.

​

It was previously occupied by another colony.

​

These didn't last here.

These "death cones" (I like calling them sand dimples) are commonplace where I live.

​

The maker of this one use tiny particles of gravel & bits of dried cement mortar.

These are made by a type of bagworm moth caterpillar.

​

I found this one in a mango tree way up the tree attached to a twig

Stumbled upon this nest of wasps hidden in an old carpet.

​

Wasps are very aggressive defenders when agitated.

​

Their sting packs a mean "ouch"!

Impressive too is their light weight papery like nest material.

We have lots of termites on our property.

​

This mound is located in a nearby bush.

​

There are other mounds within the area but of slightly different designs.

​

Check out more pictures.

This, I suppose, is not exactly an insect home because I am not sure if these ants I found in this fig fruit were living here or just came for a snack.

​

When I picked up the fruit I didn't expect to find ants inside it, which made it look even more like they were staying there - at least temporary.

These holes could be entrances to a nest/chambers.

​

Their nest entrance didn't show any evidence of inhabitance except for some remains of insects strewn outside which were likely captured by the ants.

​

A little research came up with the name Platythrea conradti as the type of ants these are. Look it up. We could be wrong. -:)
