Hello, my son got stung/bitten by a flying icnest that looks alot like a bee/hornet. I am trying to identify it, but have had no luck. The bug has black transparent wings, greyish/blue and black body with alternating stripes. The bites/stings were 6 pin sized spots in less then a 1/2 diameter. There was no visible stinger. It was agressive and continued to follow him until I was able to kill it. It looks just like a blue sand bee, but I know they are not native to Tennessee. I appreciate any help you can offer on identifying this pest.

If you had a picture of the insect I may be able to identify it.
