Wasps' Nest found in Guitar

In the last blog I spoke about collecting a guitar I'd bought on Australian ebay. We had a four hour trip inland from the Sunshine Coast through the Bunya Mountains and beyond to the tiny town of Bell. Pictured below is me collecting the guitar from the Bell Art Gallery which the seller was running on this Sunday afternoon.

The new strings that were on it were too light for me so I decided to change them. When I started the first string I noticed something strange in the top corner by the neck inside the guitar. It was a wasps' nest! With the help of a screw driver, I managed to prize it out whole. Here it is pictured below.
Luckily there were no signs of life. I wondered if I was the first person ever to discover a wasps' nest inside a guitar! I suppose it could only happen in Australia - or perhaps you know different!!
