Someone Stole Our Nest!

There was a large paper wasp nest under my carport & it was full of eggs and larvae. During the night, something tore the nest apart & ate all the eggs and larvae. My guess is a raccoon. The remaining wasps were very upset and milled around where the nest used to be for the entire day.
