Thanks for visiting my website. Inside all those pots are a caterpillar which will be food for those wasps. Usually they hatch in 10-15 days. Once they break open you will see fully grown young wasps coming out. You can leave them out by opening window then.
Let me know how it goes on.
Thanks and keep visiting

Thank you very much for your post. I have three “pots” attached to my curtain since the end of this summer. Here is a photo of them: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-csmYfQIMMVg/TsZVJlPnA7I/AAAAAAAABjk/mm9d0VOYrzQ/s1600/comlek.JPG
They are still sealed. Do you know when the baby wasps will hatch their eggs and come out of the nest? I would love to observe them doing this. And also it would be good to know as I should leave the window open during their times of hatch.

[...] and your individual might be in the genus Eumenes. We found a match for body shape on the Krishna Mohan Photography website, and then we found what really resembles your species on the India Nature Watch website. [...]

Dear Steve Sargent,
Thanks for visiting my web page and for your compliments. Potter wasps are pretty common wasps here. As you can see I regularly (once a week) post my photos and observation here on my blog. Keep visiting.

Thanks for a fab picture, and so much detail. I was directed to your page by whatsthatbug.com after finding one of these beasts in my cottage in India, where I’m working for a few months. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and your info was very interesting.
