I Was Attacked

I was attempting to feed Jacinta earlier this morning when all of the sudden, some random bug dive-bombed me! I reached over to see what it was and it stung my side and finger before flying off to the other side of the room! Jerk, cause that hurt like hell! I attempted to crush it with my shoe but he flew behind the mini-blinds and when I returned with bug spray, it was nowhere to be found.

That is, until I went in the bathroom a few minutes ago and noticed him on the mirror. Revenge is mine!

Now the question remains, what kind of bug / wasp is this? I originally though it was a mud dauber, but the body is different from what I have seen on Google. A friend suggested it might be a tiphia wasp but I am not really sure. Any ideas?

As I mentioned, the stings hurt pretty bad and swelled up nicely but that has since went down. I have a mild headache now but that is most likely due to the fact I haven’t ate lunch yet heh

    the tiphia wasp looks like a good bet. I would imagine that it must be some sort of wasp/bee from the shape of the stinger-tail type thing, but the black and red is pretty ominous O_O

    That’s definitely a Polistes fuscatus pallipes if i ever saw one!

    uh, no hahah.

    Hope that there were no revenge of the bugs attacks…
    That is one gross insect.
