This is a pelecinid wasp, a female. I don't know much about them, but males
are tough to find. Here's the Wikipedia entry:

Hi All:

 

We were over at a friend's place in Greenwood on Saturday and saw this weird
bug in the garden and Jeff took a photo of it.  The tail (which looks like
it has a stinger) reminded me a bit of a scorpion.  Does anyone know what
this is?

Cheers,

Cindy
