CLOSED: I think this is some kind of wasp?

Hello!!

I'm hoping the nice folks here can help me out again. I came out of the shower this evening to find this thing flying in the hall. I instantly thought it was wasp, freaked out, and killed. But I was able to take a few pictures afterwards

Granted it's a bit damaged but you can see that it's black and white, had huge eyes, and a long backside/body.
It flies/hovers like a wasp btw.


Thanks so much for any help!! :D

It is a wasp, but one that is harmless to humans - it's an ichneumon wasp, all of which are parasitic on other arthropods, mainly insects.

Thanks so much Flap!

Is it a bad thing to find them in your house?? I think this is the second one in the last couple of weeks.

-freaking out-

Oh, and do you know if they pose any threat to dogs??

Thanks again.

No worries, RD - The only danger they pose is to to other insects - they don't even have a sting...

Awesome!

Thank you so much for the help again!!! =D
