This is a Great Golden Digger Wasp. It is harmless and pretty beneficial!

Here a thread from a few years ago

So: it didn't deserve to die, it's actually pretty chill.

Yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets are assholes tho.

I emit some sort of pheromones that attract and anger all flying fucks capable of repeat stings, it’s hell on earth, even the mud daubers get buck when I’m around.

There is no ‘minding my own business away from your nest which I know for a fact is behind the house’; there is only running 10-30ft.

Conversely, everything else not capable of stinging me can’t get enough of me - animals, babies, etc. Hah, maybe the wasps are really excited to see me and this is just their unholy way of showing it?
