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
CLOSED: I think this is some kind of wasp?
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
