12. Thank you for sharing this. I'll never look at one the same way again.

Up to now, they were always just 'the bugs that make crusty hives under my gutters' and little else. Nature is amazing when you really stop to look at it.

17. He is! According to the linked article, he's blowing water bubbles away from the nest

to keep it dry.
