Hi, thanks for thinking of Ask an Expert for your insect identification needs. The insect in your pictures is an ichneumon wasp.
the above link has a brief intro to this insect (scroll down). It's considered beneficial, and is a parasite of other insects. I hope you find this information helpful,
Nicole
