I got stung really bad on my arm, the bug was not a normal wasp. It was red, black, and HUGE! What was it?

i was out in my barn, and my barn is in the middle of a field. It was at about 2:30pm. Could the bug possibly have been a velvet ant? my arm has been swelling for a 2 days now. I need to know if I have to take any medicines for it. The bug was about 1 inch long. It was about as big as a hornet but it's sting was much more powerful I think.
Answer:
I would see the doctor. There's really no way for anybody to know what bug it was without actually seeing it. Maybe if you go to your doctor he/she will be able to figure out what type of bug it is and give you something to treat the swelling. It's possible it was a Pompilidae wasp - they are black with red wings and they are quite large, the sting is painful as well. Good Luck.
see a doctor.
no matter what it was, see a doctor now!
Red Wasp...very bad...their stings are painful and terrible. You MIGHT want to take something for allergies...it'll make you sleepy but it'll help. Also get some ice on that bite.
If it is still swelling tomorrow call your doctor.
with that kind of swelling you need treatment, see a doctor as soon as possible.
It could have been an alien. Have you been having chest pains and sudden cravings for large quantities for meat?
maby its a locust ? im not sure go to a doctor to be safe good luck
can you find one to catch and take to Dr. with you =if not don't fret ,but go to Dr anyway ,especially with the swelling
Yup, see a doctor!The Ol' Sasquatch 脺
