I think you are referring to a Cicada Killer Wasp. They feed on Cicada bugs and burrow/live in the ground. The females can sting but usually don't sting people. They use their stinger to paralyze the cicada bug. Males can't sting. I found one of these on the screen of my house window tonight ~ ick! I hope there aren't a lot of burrows in our yard!
