Yay, I found two inches of Arizona mud in the bottom of my washer bottle
cover - that?s a good start.

I also found dozens of little cocoons made of sand all over the car in
the nooks and crannies. I did a bit of research, and it turns out they
belong to the Thread-Waisted Wasp. Go here to see what the little
beastie looks like: http://www.generalx.com/beewasp.html

Mmmm nice. Fortunately they have all been empty (so far!)
