Yes and that's hopefully when they are found. Know of an airplane that went down due to restricted fuel flow. One had partially plugged a fitting before it was installed. Taught me to always make sure fittings are clear before I install them. Have seen them starting to build on airspeed indicator pitot tubes and fuel tank vents. Good reason to use those "remove before flight" covers.
I previously posted they were like a yellow jacket but they are actually in the wasp family.

well I do keep the openings blocked/ stuffed with some thick wipe down clothes (they are blue LOL) but I guess the little bastArds found a way in. anyone want a set of 300xs stock cowl covers with skater logo??? I will part with them for 17K each or a real steel...30K for the set
here is what a dirt dauber ( excuse my original spelling) looks like and the nest they make
