We saw this kind of insect when we were picking figs last season. We believe it is an insect called as Dirt Dauber.

It's scary looking for many people. However, this wasp is common in our southern state, Louisiana.
The insect has other common names such as:
- a black and yellow mud dauber.
- a dirt dinner
- a mud dauber
- a mud wasp
- a blue mud dauber

Several sources reported that Dirt Daubers no harm to the leaves and trees, they just consume other insects live around there.
