The nest is composed of mud, which is a common building material most solitary wasp species use. The photographed nest has around two visible entrance holes and spans around 6 cm.
This nest was spotted underneath a coconut palm leaf, nests would also be usually spotted near manmade structures, as long as it is protected from the weather as the nest is extremely fragile and can easily be damaged from a rain. Mud nests can easily be found and most are usually already abandoned
I already made a spotting of the wasp itself https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/18... , this is dedicated for the nest they create, I tried to photograph a wasp in the nest in the 2nd photo but the antennae is barely visible, this wasp is miniscule and completely harmless towards humans.
