What insect looks like a wasp but has a yellow vertical stripe through its head and it was about 1 inch long?

That's what I was wondering to.
It most probably a red velvet ant- which is not an ant at all- it is actually a wingless wasp.
Red velvet ants are predators, hunting other insects, especially bees, and infecting their victims bodies or nests with their parasitic eggs.
They are a particularly aggressive species and can deliver a powerful and painful sting- this is how they got the nickname Cow Killer! Note that the female is wingless while the male has dark wings.
They are not poisonous or deadly (unless you are allergic) so no worries.
If you see them- turn around and walk the other way fast, they probably won't bother you if you leave them alone.
if you have an infestation call an exterminator.

∙ 10y agoThat would be a mud dauber. They come in black, black and yellow, and metallic blue. I just battled one in my room and it had slightly less yellow than the pictures I've found on the internet but then again some are all black. I think its partly just cause a macro photo is more detailed than my eyes and im afraid to get close to it even though its dead already. Hope this helps!
