This is a female adult of Pelecinus polyurator. It belongs to the family Pelecinidae in the superfamily Proctotrupoidea. It is not an ichneumonid wasp though it is a wasp. It has a very long abdomen and a tiny ovipositor at the tip. It can give you a mild sting. The long abdomen is used to dig into the soil and deposit eggs into white grubs, which are sometimes pests of grass. The larva (young) of the wasp then consume the grub from the inside. Very much like the beasts in the movie alien.

I caught one of these when i was 12 and I thought I had made some sort of groundbreaking biological discovery. now that I'm 18, it's a little disappointing to find out that it was just a run of the mill pelecinid wasp.

After doin g research I found out they're a good thing so if you find one DON'T Kill it.

Definitely not! This guy was alive and kicking, just resting on the window for a minute. He flew off a few seconds after the video stops.
