What is it? Theres a lot around here lately and somehow they find their way into my house.

Most of all - Does it sting?

Malay Water Wasp. Hemotoxic venom in their stinger, and a wonderful habit of stinging multiple times. If you are not in Indochina somewhere, you might start looking around for the person keeping weird pets.

I'm in Texas also. That's a type of mud dauber wasp...this is the type that makes the round ball-shaped "nests". They can sting, but they are very difficult to provoke into doing so. About the only way you could get stung is if the wasp was trapped against your skin for some reason (for example, if you grabbed it). Unlike paper wasps they are not particularly agressive.

Oh, lol.

No, this is the potter wasp. It makes the tiny jars. There's another one that makes balls, but that one's red.
My guess is a sawfly, but I can't find anything more specific than that.

There is more than one kind of potter wasp.

In my area (also in TX) there are three commonly seen mud daubers:

There's the metallic-blue & black ones, which make the "organ pipe" looking nests.

There's the black-and-yellow ones, who make clusters of short, fat, tubes,

And finally there's the potter wasp that you just pictured. However, I have seen the type that OP posted before...and it definatley looks like a type of solitary wasp.

I don't think it's a sawfly. The head and eyes aren't correct.

Well, none of the potters or mason wasps (collectively known as "dirt-dobbers" over here) that I can find look like the one in the OP's picture.

It's either a Sphecidae or Eumenidae, respectively, a Cicada Killer, Mud Dauber or San Wasp or a Potter Wasp. Hard to tell from the picture. It's not a Sawfly or Hornfly because the abdomen is pinched in where it connects to the thorax.
