This project is mainly about researching and experiment on a clay use by an insect to build their nest. There are several types of clays; assumption has been made that this insect called potter wasp has an instinct to choose fine clay to build their nest. Thus the idea of this research is to prove that either the clay use by the potter wasp is the fme clay from the hypothesis. This project will be focusing on experiment and analyzing on the clay isolated. There are also several step involve before the experiment will start such as identification, sampling, washing and lastly analyzing. This report will represent in details on the introduction about the project which is to briefly about the study, the problem statement, the objectives and methodology used in conducting the experiment.
