ID update: Platypus Rove Beetle, Platydracus sp.
Thanks Ilya Bezdelev! It could have a stinger. I couldn't tell.
Thanks Karen! I would never have thought a beetle, maybe a wasp!
Antennae & legs suggest a beetle of some kind. Maybe Keith Roragan can help.
Intriguing! Especially the first picture
Does it have a sting?
