Can you please identify this insect?

Post by Escobar »

It's about 5mm long, flying and bite me. He got inside my shirt and got crazy. I was in a plane from Portugal to Switzerland. I would like to know what kind of insect is it. Thank you...

It appears to be a small, solitary wasp of some kind, although I am not sure of the species. Stings from these wasps are usually minor, and leave no lasting effects.
