It looks like some sort of wasp. I am not really sure, it is hard to see in the photos.

Answer 16

Its body shape is that of a wasp. What it is exactly would depend on where you are, where it was exactly (e.g. coming out of a hole in the ground, or on a wooden fence), and how big it was. If it's blue-ish it could be a blue mud wasp. They are fairly common. If you are in southern California, they are very common (their scientific name is even Chalybion  californicum).

Here's an article about them:

http://www.bugpeople.org/taxa/Hymenopter...

Unlike other wasps, they generally don't attack people unless you mess with them, and can be beneficial because they kill spiders like black widows. They are also known as blue mud daubers.

Here's an article on mud daubers:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_dauber

But in any case, I wouldn't let your dog eat them. It's likely to make them mad, and can't be good for the dog. And yes, wasps sting. Not only that, but unlike most bees, a single (female) wasp can sting multiple times.

Answer 21

Answer 22

Answer 23

It's a mud dauber. Basically a wasp that lives in the ground in tiny holes. They're usually more angry than regular wasps. I'd kill it if I were you... They're all over in Florida. Hate 'em.
