I noticed this hole next to the pole barn and figured something had moved in. On closer inspection the gray crumbly bits to the left and above the hole are the remnants of a hive. Some critter dug up the home of some very aggressive yellow jackets that have attacked me more than once. I hope they tasted good.
Earlier this fall on chilly sun filled morning, as I was admiring our cabin rock collection with a cup of coffee in my right hand, one of these buggers landed on the back of my left hand. It proceeded to embed its stinger while I watched helplessly, shaking with anxiety, trying not to spill my coffee. Not the way to start a vacation. Witness my swollen hand. All of the cabin yellow jackets are now dead.
As described in a latter post we had a skunk in the neighborhood, it was probably the critter that dug up the hive.
