Builder of a papery nest

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wasp

(Other definitions for wasp that I've seen before include "Swap for a stinging insect" , "Sort of privileged American" , "Insect often irritating in summer" , "A hymenopteran" , "spiteful person?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
