Any idea's what they are anyone? ...

Found outside of the house.

It's some sort of cocoon by the look of it. Don't know what type of moth/butterfly or what though

I was watching one of these being built the other day - don't tell me life here ain't exciting The builder looked very like a wood wasp and they build them in just under an hour Get rid of them. Only made with muddy like poo

LOL

Ok, I'll remove em all tomorrow.

Cheers ...

Funny, that's what my daughter said it was

Either a hornet or wasps nest. We've just discovered one right outside our front door. They are very aggressive as well. can't use our front door at the moment!

They look like those Cadbury's chocolates just right of the orange cremes in the box! Love 'em!

Yes they are a type of hornets nest.
They are very aggressive when building them.
When you break one open they are full of dead flys and spiders to feed their young.
I always spray them and try and get the bugger that is building them but you have to be quick and run like hell afterwards.

It could be army grub. They eat your grass.

Found this.

GRUBS AND DISEASES

The main grub in the area is the Lawn Army Worm. This grub only affects lawns in summer. Apart from areas of dying lawn, the main indicator of the presence of Army Worm is a red wasp with a long sting hovering over the lawn (these are predators of the army worm), birds (Ibis or Plovers pecking into the lawn), or a build-up of yellow cocoons on your house eaves.

tis a wasp's house dude get rid of it or phone the council and get them round to smoke it out if you got lots of em.

commonly called a mud wasp...

Thats the one - we had loads always trying to build all over the house, in the shed, everywhere. They were a nightmare.
We haven't had them in this house thank goodness

Use a stiff brush to clean them off or they will stain any paintwork etc

They look like potter wasp tubes to me....
