What is this bug ?

[shane]

I found a wierd looking type of a flying like bug ant with a long like stinger or somthing in my garden this afternoon.





This thing was just abit bigger then my messor queen

It also looks like a winged ant but I know its not at that size, it could be the ant mimic bug I see a lot in ants nests thats grown up but I could be wrong.

Yet another Ichneumon wasp as in this thread} queenant.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pets&thread=3770

Ic. If it wasn't for that long thing like stinger or some egg laying straw thing. well if it didn't have one and was smaller.

I could have easy mistaken it was some flying ant

Thanks for help.
