Wasp vespiary

In long grass beside the tennis courts on campus

Constructed from what appears to be fibre, only part of this nest is active. I stumbled - not literally - upon this treasure whilst searching for the jennie wrens that also live beside the tennis courts. According to Wiki, a wasp is a predatory flying stinging insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor an ant.
