"Stinger" is apparently an ovipositor.
From what I read, they do not sting and are relatively harmless.. unless you're a tree.  Maybe you smelled like a burned out log?

Tough to remember though when you stumble on one unexpectedly. Holy ****, get that thing away from me.

My dad must have smelled like a tree, he had one try to bury its tail in his calf once. He said it didn't hurt, and he just swatted it away. I would have run screaming like a girl.

Used to call them sap suckers back in nfld. I didn't know they didn't hurt. Kind of feel foolish running away from them all those years.

The funny thing is that they act as if those things are giant stingers. We get them around work and they are quite aggressive.

I would have fainted dead away.
I'd rather face an angry grizzly then a angry bug.

Yer not from around here ?
First thing you wanna do is claim rights to an
artifical for all wet, dry and nymph versions.
Then log the materials list in the GB HalloFame Trout & About
compendium.
It's world reknown.
Once you apply for registration of a new spieces the
entry wil be brought before the UN trade board and
then be reviewed and approved or dissapproved as the
case may be.
After with to fore you can lay claim to your new declaired
speicies and pattern then to with hold patten upon
your chozen comspecs.
Should you so deisire.
Clear as mudd aye?

My dad was old school tough. When he severely cut a finger while chopping firewood when he was 12, he realized the finger couldn't be saved so he cut what was left off, with his pocket knife and went back to chopping wood.
I remember watching him pick up live embers off the floor, that had accidentally fell out while he was filling the wood cook stove in our kitchen.
He would calmly pick up the errant embers and deliberately place them back in the firebox, with his bare hands.
For much of my early life I was convinced he was incapable of feeling fear or pain.
Then one day I found a huge Garter Snake. For me that was an amazing find, I was so excited. I ran to my dad and stuffed this huge snake right under his nose screaming "LOOK WHAT I FOUND".
It is the only time in my life I truly feared for my life. He never touched me but the words and actions told me loud and clear that my dad did not like snakes. I had no idea my dad was capable of uttering such vile words or of moving in such a frantic way. He reminded me of a frantic cat, both in his motions and in the sounds he made. I'm pretty sure he wet his pants in the process, I know I did.

I used to see these bugs all the time firefighting in BC. We called them Stump F@#kers, although Fire Wasp is the other name they wher called. The longer of the two "stingers" they would isert into the chared bark of burned stumps and trees. They would "hump" the stump or tree for awhile then fly off. I don't know what the smaller of the two stingers is for, but they never stung or bit anyone that i know of.
Funny side note. I once saw a guy eat one for two dollars! He removed the stingers first though. Ah the things you do when your insanely bored in the bush!
