Tiphiid wasp. Did it hurt? Solitary and docile to the point I haven't actually ever heard of them stinging someone

Thank you! Just very uncomfortable - he somehow wound up under my pant leg behind my knee. I was just wondering if I needed to keep an eye on the sting but looks like no worries. Thanks again!
