Big ol' bug Anonymous
My friend found this bug flying around in his house. It was about 3-4 inches in overall lenght and took 3 hits with a shoe to stun it long enought to have to fall to the ground where it took another 5 hits to kill it fully. My question is if any of you people out there in the internet might be able indentify this bug for us. also if it is any help we are in massachusetts.

Ichenumons are black, but I concur that it IS a solitary wasp. harmless, will not sting as it is an egg-laying female usually- the "stinger" on most wasps is a modified ovipositor, and solitary wasps actually use it to lay eggs with so no stingy
