The biting scoundrel

Hello, dear experts! Help identify the monster please! Size 1-2 mm, color dark brown, legs 6, can be folded. The place of congestion is the bathroom. I've been caught on a human a couple of times. Your running speed is average. There is a suspicion that it bites. The whole family has identical bites with severe itching and blisters.
Thank you in advance!

This is a fairly common betilid wasp, Sclerodermus domesticus Klug, 1809.
It doesn't bite, but it can sting if pressed down.
