The wasp with white rings in the tail section is likely the "paper wasp," specifically species from the genus Polistes. These wasps are known for their elongated bodies and distinctive markings, which can include white or yellowish rings on their abdomen. Paper wasps are social insects that build open, umbrella-shaped nests and are often found in gardens and wooded areas. They are generally not aggressive unless their nest is disturbed.
The scientific name of a parasitic wasp can vary depending on the species. However, parasitic wasps belong to the order Hymenoptera and are known for laying their eggs inside other insects or arthropods to use them as hosts for their larvae to develop.
A wasp in Florida with a black body and a red stripe could likely be the Red Paper Wasp (Polistes carolina). This species is common in the southeastern United States and is known for its distinctive coloration. Be cautious around all wasps, as their stings can be painful.
