The great black wasp.
The great black wasp
Like any other wasp, the Great Black Wasp (sphenx pennsylvanica) is equipped with a stinger. Do not confuse the Great Black Wasp with other black wasps. The Great Black Wasp is a solitary wasp, consequently, it does not build "community" nests similar to other wasp species and does not swarm. If you are experiencing swarming black wasps, then these are not the Great Black. Wasps are typically fairly aggressive, however the Great Black Wasp is not as aggressive as other species and generally will not bother you unless provoked (accidentally stepped on or otherwise agitated). However, this is a large powerful insect with an extremely painful sting, therefore caution is advised. The Great Black Wasp is easy to identify from other stinging insects; these wasps fly with their legs trailing behind them while most other types of bees and wasps will tuck their legs toward their body as they fly. The Great Black Wasp is also considerably larger than other wasp species with a separate thorax and abdomen.
The black wasp is an aggressive bee. Another name for the black wasp is the cicada killer wasp. It is larger than other wasp, growing up to 2 inches long.

A slender, black flying insect with transparent wings, a long ovipositor and red legs sounds like a banded caterpillar parasite wasp. It is also known as the Ichneumon wasp.
