Again, I've no camera for it, I'm afraid.

It's long and black and thin - similar kind of shape to an earwig. But
with
a pointy bit on its bum instead of pincers, and oddly red legs.

They are quite ... evil looking things, really. And they have wings
(transparent) and they fly kind of similar to a wasp if you catch them out
of the corner of your eye.

Anyone any suggestion what it could be? I don't believe I've ever noticed
anything quite like it before.

Try the Ichneumon Wasp on Google
