Wasps transform abandoned mask into horrifying natural sculpture [1]

[]

Date: 2025-06-25

When wasps chose a discarded mask as their building site, they created an accidental masterpiece of horror. The nest engulfed the mask, transforming it into what appeared to be a tortured face emerging from a twisted torso — a nightmarish sculpture that could have crawled straight out of a horror film.

There's a plus side to having something like this appear on the outside of your home. Nobody is ever going to mess with you. Who needs a Ring alarm system when you have this guy on your porch to scare off intruders?
