Pot Washer is one type of wasp mud. This potted pot is the most amazing house in the insect world. Only with the soil and saliva, he can make a small house shaped like a pot. Pot Wasps are solitary creatures, solitary creatures are creatures that live alone throughout their lives. The pot washer builds its nest in various places, depending on its type. In general, the nest site is close to a good source of clay. Wasps dampened the ground with water to spray it, then made a small droplet of wet clay, tucked it between his legs, and flew back to the nest. He spread the ground with his forelegs and jaws, then began forming the base of the nest.

After the nest is complete, the wasps insert his abdomen / stomach into the narrow pot-shaped breech nest and place an egg hanging on a soft silk thread on the pot's ceiling. After laying the eggs the pot wasps away to find food, in general the adult wasps feed on the honey from the plant, while the little wasp is a carnivore (a meat eater). The female wasp hunts caterpillars and moth larvae, which are a favorite food of young pots wasps, to fill the nest. when the potted wasp finds a caterpillar, it holds its head with its sharp jaw, stings it several times until it is paralyzed, then brings it to the pot's nest and inserts it. When the pot's nest is full of caterpillars and moth larvae, the pot wasp closes the nest hole with clay again and leaves its eggs with a large supply of food in a sturdy, comfortable and safe pot of pot.

When the eggs have hatched out of the larvae, the larvae will feed on the supply of food in the pot, and grow larger. Young hungry bees larvae spend time with feasting on caterpillar body fluids and moth larvae, then he chews his dry skin. The wasp larvae grow larger when the caterpillar has been consumed. When the larvae are large the larvae cover its own body with a silk thread into a cocoon or an inactive stage. the cocoon will turn into a wasp when its body is perfectly shaped, after perfect wasp pot out of the cocoon and slowly out dara the pot's nest. It has entered its final stage as a winged ordinary insect.

When the adult wasps are ready to leave the hive, the pot wasp flew in search of nectar and was also ready to find a mate to marry. The male banton releases the sperm to be stored in the female wasp's body. The male Hornet will die shortly after marriage. While female wasps fly to start making nests and laying eggs. Like all serannga, pot wasps also have enemies. Several types of serang that do not build their own nests try to enter the honeycomb's nest and lay their eggs inside.

Bee fly is the fiercest enemy of pot wasps, bee fly stalked the female pot wasp, followed it to its place of nesting, and waited until it was built nest. When the potted wasps go to collect the ground of the nest, the female bee fly gets the opportunity it has been waiting for, the bee fly loads its abdomen into the pot's nest and lays eggs inside. Hatching eggs into larvae, feeding the entire pot full of food stored by pot wasps including potted bees. In addition there are also Hornet cuckoo and tawonicbneumon which is harmful parasite pot wasp just like a bee fly.

now more explain about the pot wasps. And I apologize if the language I use is less understandable, because I am still a beginner. So comments and suggestions are needed for the development of my blog.
