    They are pretty common here in AZ. They are not aggressive towards people, but they're not particularly timid either. If you leave them alone you'll be fine. I have never met anyone who has been stung by one. Of course, everybody around here knows to leave them alone, so that doubtless contributes to the rarity of stings.

    Solitary wasps tend to sting less than eusocial members of Hymenoptera, though I haven't encountered this one. I'm not sure why you're calling it unfortunate, as parasitic reproduction is pretty standard for a large portion of solitary wasps. I like to view them as nature's regulators: If there are a lot of grasshoppers, you get a lot of Prionyx for example.

      It's pretty bad when you see one around cause now you have this crazy wasp and tarantulas hiding somewhere.

    I saw a jumping spider kill one of these. It wasn't the size of my hand though. 😅

    Its kind of a weird name too. Like how do you go from a hawk to a tarantula when this is neither of them?

    • @BurtonShotton

      Because, like the hawk, it is a flying predator and the tarantula is it's prey.
