Stung my boyfriend in the middle of the night a few days ago. He found its body behind the blinds today. Anyone know what it is? Some type of wasp I assume? Location: north Texas

Looks like it's in the Ichneumonidae family of wasps.

Looks like one of the short-tailed Ichneumons. They’re not venomous, or dangerous in any other way. Probably got lost and was pissed about it.
Sounds about right. Yeah, my boyfriend said it hurt a little bit, and now it’s just really itchy. But it didn’t seem like a normal wasp sting. Thanks!
