What insect is this???

This bug made its way into my house somehow. All the windows are closed today since I'm using the air conditioner so it must have crawled through a very tight space. The sound you hear it making is its pinchers scraping against the glass. The thing looks like a gigantic flying ant or something. I dunno... After I made the video, I let it go...hopefully it won't come back haha.

Any idea what it is?

Is it a Queen ant? That's the only kind I know that gets that big.

@lakaigne actually queen ants aren't like that. When they're not fertilized they are like big ants and they do have wings but they seem kinda "fatter" than the workers, and this insect looks really slender to be a queen ant.

I think it's a parasitic wasp. Google it and you'll see

That is a parasite bee

Very dangerous for some animals
