I removed the wasp nest of Sept 1, 2014 from the house soffitt recently 
(centered on a vent) and cut one quarter away to show the internal 
structure. There were nine layers of paper insulation with ample air gaps 
between.

Thought to be nest of bald-faced hornet [Dolichovespula maculata]; thanks 
Jim.
