So tonight I walked out the front door to go throw apples out to the edge of the woods for the deer. We have a little sidewalk across from the front door that I have a long mulched flower bed against it. I did not see this nest yesterday, so it is new. I see not a thing flying around it. It is raised about 1 and half inches from the ground width of it is about 3-4 inches. The hole is centered and about an inch wide or slightly less perhaps? In all the years at the farm, I have never seen a nest like this and I have seen many yellow jacket nest in the ground in the pastures...but this?????? It almost resembles puppy chow with a hole in the center...and no, my dog was not in that area.,..or any other dog. HELP!
Would a hummingbird do that?
Meanwhile I am going to be watching it with binoculars in the morning to see what the heck made it.
LOL …. I bet your husband could find something cool to do with a drone like this guy did in the video.
Ohhhhh you're allergic to bees. Oh, that's a whole 'nother scenario. In your case you can't be too cautious. In mine, if I'm stung multiple times, (which I have been often) just take an antihistimine, throw some ammonia on it and I'm good to go. But wow, epi-pen time is serious stuff. (I love your "Epic-Pens", that they really are!)
lol, typo but i like epic better also!
Mandolinrain I thought it was called Epipen because that is what my aunt uses she is allergic to honey bees now she and my uncle have a honey bee farm and she got stung and had to go to the emergency room over a reaction she had but then you called it Epic-Pen so I thought maybe the name changed and I did not know it so I just called it what you did lol.
That’s a ground crayfish hole.
Im thinking so too now
It's a crawdad hole. I have them here especially in my ditches.
HOW can I stop them? Just one hole now but am scared friends maybe on the way..... Holli9193
We have a winner!
pinchy crawdad
They do not leave pretty holes!!
Crawdads, sometimes referred to as crayfish, usually hunt invertebrates, such as snails, mussels and worms. They have also been known to eat their own kind on occasion. If their preferred food sources are limited, crayfish feed on wood, roots or other types of plants. They also frequently scavenge for dead animals.
