I believe that it is an assassin bug. If you read on it says that it is the most painful bug bite on the continent. Hopefully this is your bug. It bit my eight year old son last night and he was in terrible pain. Copy and paste this to see if this is your bug. http://bugguide.net/node/view/20504
Flying Stinger
the red-winged discustibug
A mosquito, bee or any insect that has wings and a stinger.
A black flying insect that burrows into wood is the carpenter bee. The female carpenter bees are the only ones with a stinger.
No, a bee's stinger does not fall off while it is flying. The stinger is designed to pierce the skin of its target and inject venom, and it remains intact during flight. However, when a bee stings a human or animal, the stinger can get lodged in the skin, leading to the bee's death when it tries to fly away.
Black jacket bee
A wasp is a flying insect with a slender body, typically black and yellow in color. It has two pairs of wings and a stinger at the end of its abdomen. Wasps can vary in size, but most species are around half an inch to an inch long.
The insect you are describing sounds like a common flower beetle, also known as a blister beetle. They have a red or reddish-orange body with metallic black wings and do not have a stinger. These beetles can often be found around flowers feeding on pollen.
That is the correct spelling of "flying around", and a synonym is aviating.
i dont know but i have been bit by a simalir insect with 2 red spots on its wings, no visable stinger.... i dont know but i have been bit by a simalir insect with 2 red spots on its wings, no visable stinger....
Perhaps, a Sphex digger wasp. They have black and white stripes and a stinger almost as long as their body.
