Answer 1

it's a cicada killer

Don't bother them, or they will bite you. Otherwise they will leave you alone

Answer 2

maybe a yellowjacket? they are seriously mean

Answer 3

I've never heard of it either,but if you see one again  maybe you should take a picture of it or capture it and then take a pic/vid or something.

Sorry I know this isn't really giving you what you wanted, but I wanted my points! *lol*

Answer 4

Here are some wasps with extra long ovipositors.  The stinger on a wasp is actually their ovipositor for laying eggs.  When they need to drill far into something like a tree, the ovipositor is extra long.  As you can see they are not all modified for stinging. I have only included the family ichneumonidae none of which sting.  There are other wasps with very long ovipositors in other families that also do not sting.
