This thing went after me when I was mowing my lawn. It's three times bigger the average wasp. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks!

Dave

Probably one of the Wood Wasps. The 'stinger' is actually an ovipositor.

Thanks Kwanjin. I think you are correct. This one was huge.

They do get big. We have them here, too.
