When I lived in North Texas these things were all over the place. I never got stung nor did I ever here of any one that did. Unlike most wasps thes guys are not social type insects. They live solitary in a burrow in the ground. The coolest part for me is to see one of these wasps smash to the ground with a cicada firmly in thier grasp and then fly off. The cicada looked twice the size of the wasp but with enough airspeed he would finally gain enough altitude to fly off for what I suspect was a scrumptious (for them anyway) meal.
