I guess this old glove isn't mine anymore.
Glad I noticed the new residents before trying to put it on. Any guesses as to the species? Maybe some type of mud dauber? I guess I'll just leave it alone and see if they emerge in the spring.

Yes, mud dauber, frightening but kind, rarely sting, and not that harmful
-
They would probably sting when disturbed tho
-
Infants in the glove are pre-stingy (takes some time out of the mudshell-papoose before their stingers harden, right? Wasp pubescence, brought to all by air.).
Stands to reason, untended (by adult wasps) mud dressed larvae can be relocated stinger- free.
Motivation to start an atrium? Or murder. Or sacrifice the gloves to the WaspBiome.
Damn answers leading to more questions.

Unless it is a plane

No idea what I'm looking at here. :(

I didn't either. Others saying it's a mud dauber which is a type of wasp.

If you click through there's a second shot zoomed in on the mud cylinder cells of the nest in the glove.

Yikes.

And they eat spiders
-
I think that's putting it mildly.

In the most horrifying way possible. Even spiders don't deserve that fate.
