Stinging winged insect with black and opaque bright yellow stripes (4)

I believe the answer is:

wasp

(Other definitions for wasp that I've seen before include "Being in the American elite" , "Insect with a formidable sting" , "Middle class American" , "Insect with a sting in its tail" , "Stingy type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
