I saw a couple scrub jays destroy one of those round papery wasp nests in a tree in my front yard some years ago. They pecked holes in the nest and had a huge meal.

Subject: [Shop-talk] yellow jacket nest

found a yellow jacket nest a couple weeks ago  the hard way... tried several nights to gas them, but these guys work the night shift also.  So yesterday I wandered out to check and there is now a hole about a foot around and a foot deep and several ‘nest’ sections (like honeycomb) scattered around and the paper wrapping still in the bottom of the hole.  No jackets.  I’m wondering what animal dug them out...  possum ??  raccoon ?? coyote ?? like most suburban areas in Alabama, the coyotes are moving in and I hear them nightly howling and yipping... lots of local chickens, cats and small animals missing also...   What ever did it was brave/stupid
