No, the wasp's sting can't kill a cow. The name derivation is most likely rooted in the intensity of the sting on humans. I.E: "Yeow, that hurts so bad it could kill a cow".

Merely giving my opinion as well. Just happened to be the same as a very knowledgeable person on here. I researched these crazy looking things when I saw one a couple years ago. Sorry for trying to help. ;).

Agreed, while I have no first hand experiance "thank God" I've heard it's one of the most painful stings you can get and makes you wish you were dead, for a while anyway. I never saw one in Jersey but according to Madmaxx and Wiki they are here. That sucks!

Yeah, I spotted this one in Southern NJ. I had the same reaction as you, snapped a pic and went back to get a bottle (my one friend collects insects religiously) but it was gone. Then my friend told me the price I almost paid for his hobby. :WHOA:
