REN-

It seriously is the most delicate thing I have ever handled. It's worse than tissue paper. The inner part with the cells is slightly thicker, but the outside cup is so incredibly fragile.

I can't help but wonder if the wasp had finished this nest, would the outer part have been made much thicker? Don't know. I have mine in a tiny glass jar that originally held jam ( preserve ) to keep it from getting smashed or blown away by a gust of wind .
