I've been researching bees and wasps and haven't found a match or anything even close to what I saw earlier. Maybe the bee/wasp critter didn't have anything to do with building the little bumpy structure. He might have been interrupted by me while he was trying to eat the critter that was building this thing. Hopefully some OB bug enthusiasts will see my thread and share some info.
This is awesome! Did it have a hard shell like a beetle or softer like a wasp or bee. Did it fly?
