This seems pretty close from what I can tell from your pic

But because of the big antennae it has, this also seems identical

I'd need a better angle to find to tell for sure,but from the thorax to its abdomen is it like supper skinny looking?

Do they sting?

You must punch the stuff out of it.

Do they sting?

Yeah but it's not a very bad sting, once one stung my toe and it did hurt a bit and left a tiny welt, but it wasn't the worst thing ever to have happened. I'd imagine that getting stung by a paper wasp would hurt way more than these wasps

There is only ONE solution.

what are you hitting it with a feather duster? how do you not kill a bug in 1 hit

Come to Australia, we have ants that you have to cut up to kill. Great things to find you are camping on in the middle of the night.
