That's cool. Mud daubers are extremely chill and will only sting you as an absolutely last resort. They also are great at keeping the spider population down. Which I'm a little torn on because I love spiders since they eat mosquitoes, and mosquitoes can fuck off and die afaic.

Wait until you find thier storage area. It will be a rock that you overturn, or maybe a space between two boards filled with paralyzed spiders and other insects ... Google it if you dare.
