| |  Unusual wasp? (no pic)
Hello my good friends I am new here and I have joined wild about britain because I have found this very unusual wasp it has yellow/orange legs black body and a pair of teardrop wings two very long antennas and its body has the thinnest joint I have ever seen and it is really unusual and it also has a very long stinger the size of 0.8 cm the insect its self was probably 1-1.5 inchs and its a bit thing the body looks shell plated the reason we have no pictures is because my mum got scared of the thing and decided to wash it down the sink
hope to receive a reply soon! |

Morning Mr. Snakes, and welcome to WAB! 
It sounds like a female Ichneumon Wasp, the ' stinger' being an ovipositor - an egg-laying tube. With some 2,000 species in the UK, photos or descriptions aren't enough unfortunately.
Take care, Jason  |

Thanks Hamza,
For other's reference: 
The ' waist' is typical Hymenopteran - probably Vespoidea superfamily.
Have a look through here: Gallery, particularly those sub-headed Vespidae
What part of the UK was this in? |
