This half winged one was flying around me.
It flew like a bee and I tried to escape from it but something was different so I captured it. What is it?

I have no idea, but I'm thinking Staphylinid maybe (looks a little like Homaeotarsus sp.)? When I see this, though, I am also simultaneously reminded of the Cerambycidae (Molorchus sp, Necydalis sp??), the Phengodidae (I don't think it is though), and the Dermaptera (don't think so either), so let's just hope someone can actually ID this soon. It's certainly an interesting specimen!

EDIT: Actually, I'm guessing Molorchus and Necydalis before Homaeotarsus. I hope I win! :)

Necydalis female is what you have here. Neat animal. It is pretending to be a wasp, of course:-)
