Don't you love Mud Dauber wasps! Around here at this time of the year any thing with a stationary hole is fair game. Took off early this year, went to sound the horn sounded like a constipated calf with colic, the mud wasps had blocked the horn solid five minutes with a piece of fencing wire and then gave the trumpet a good coat of silicon spray, they don't like that, the mud won't stick to it.
