Comments on: news tower under attack by giant pests http://blogs.e-rockford.com/bricksandclicks/2008/08/26/news-tower-under-attack-by-giant-pests/ The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the "bricks" in the News Tower. We're a multimedia news and information company: the "clicks" on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.

Have you identified exactly what species? Are they black with white striping? I've had a nest of those in one of my trees. VERY defensive critters. Now I currently have a small colony of cicada killers (type of wasp) burrowing under my patio stones. Seems like it's been a banner year for a bumper crop of wasp/hornets/bees.
