Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp
I had my first encounter with the eastern cicada killer wasp while showing condos. I saw one of these near my garage at home and they are scary looking, but harmless to humans (unless you step on a female or otherwise try to hurt her). Males have no stingers, but will seem like they are chasing you while trying to find female wasps.

Don't think I could do that.
