Do wasps eat wood?

Lunch time comes around I'm eating at my station. Chicken-wads and ranch dressing.

I'm almost afraid to ask but.....Chicken wads?

Pieces of "fried chicken meat" from a local fast-food joint. Rather then being fingers or strips they are "wads" of meat.

Gary Mitchell was right to fear.

Yeah, never ate them again.

The correct term is wasp bike, I believe. It's made of paper and is rather beautiful. So they don't eat the wood they process it, the same way swallows use mud.

Okay, a few minutes ago a wasp decided to sneak into my home. I have my window wide open now, so it can easily leave, but instead it seems utterly fascinated with my ceiling. Either it's munching on it or it is doing indecent things to it. Kinda hard to tell.

Doesn't look like it's got any inclination of leaving. Maybe I'll have to give up my living room to it.

A few weeks ago I had the same problem...so I decided to save the little bastard. I picked him up with a Kleenex (not used) and I got freaking stung through the damn tissue. OK granted, perhaps tissue was not the best medium to pick up a wasp...
