Was out in the shed this morning and there are 1/4" burrows with fine dirt everywhere. Saw what looked like a black mud dobber crawl out of one and fly off. Any idea what they are?

The holes will have a few paralyzed insects in them with wasp eggs on them.

Wasp or hornet? Isn't it the common wasp that builds the paper nests under the eaves? Mean daggum things.

After the input from members and researching I believe it is the black dgger wasp. May they rest in piece. Thank you every one.
