Yeah those Paper Wasps are a nuisance,have them here too,I also find them in lights and they also like to nest in the large black nursery pots that I have stacked up.

uggghhh i Hate insects....wheres my can of Raid!

(...).....RUN!!!

Jump!! At least they are not as active at night when this light was serviced.

I actually don't hate insects.....but....if they are dangerous to local humans....then I would have to kill them or get them to run away with water...depending on the issue........but if insect is harmless.....I leave them alone...oh guys reminder....NEVER KILL A PRAYING MANTIS! Without them we will have EVEN MORE mosquitos and other bad bugs around....those praying mantis and daddy long legs actually are friends with humans, they help us eat bad bugs...plus its actually illegal to kill praying mantis in the USA!

Yikes! I hate wasps, but I suspect this is alot more common then it seems (not so much in new cobras but older ones for sure. My OV-15 had a live wasp nest when I brought it in my house (guess how quickly that went back out side ) and my OV-25, 2 of my M250R2s, my model 13, my R37, one of my R47s, my R7 and my TwistPak all had dead nests in them

Try to top this.....two dead squirrels in a GE M-250R1

I had wasps nesting on traffic signal visors, and occasionally on the lens of both LED and incandescent, usually the yellow due to short burn time.

Well I did find a dead BIRD in Josephs B2255

I've found live birds, dead birds, frogs, snakes and several other types of wildlife inside fixtures! Also jace was correct, not one wasp was hurt in the photo shoot!

Oh right I almost forgot, I ALSO found a live baby bird in my OVZ

Anyone ever found a moose inside a streetlight?

Well not a moose, but the other night I found a hockey puck and lacross ball!

How the heck did those get in a cobra head

in a cobrahead? I know you found a Lacross ball in a posttop...but in a cobrahead? I know someone did find a i think #9 pool ball inside a light too...

My Westinghouse OV-15 streetlight that I got from Duquesne Light had a few live bees in it.

@Niall Thanks for taking out the bird for me, that must have been quite a surprise to see a dead bird inside

As for me, haven't found anything shocking inside my lights before aside from dead bugs and leaked ballast tar.

Luckily the bird was dried and cooked so it didn't smell and it was one of those really tiny ones, I would be really shocked if I found A FRIED GULL

that is Disturbing.

and Jace...dont be silly...a MOOSE in a streetlight?

I can imagine, a moose ON a streetlight, but not INSIDE one!
