(not sure what kind of wasp this is)
There are a lot of wasps in the world. The western part of the United States, with its unique weather and climate, gets some stinging pests like various wasp species that other parts of the country don’t get. There are a number of larger wasps with painful stings in this part of the country, too.
In the western U.S., you can find wasps like the beautiful, but potentially painful, Tarantula Hawk Wasp. There are other solitary wasps which may not create huge nests or infestations, but might set up their nests around your home and put yourself, your family or pets at risk from painful stings. One of the more common is the great black wasp.
The great black wasp is considered a pollinator. Thus, they are considered beneficial to the environment. They can also help control the population of grasshoppers (which eat plants and crops) and katydids. There are even some plant species which seem to be particularly helped by pollination from the great black wasp.
