Strange insect?

We had this buzzing around today, it was like a dragon fly but it buzzed really angrily and wasn't quite so big.  Any ideas what it might be and more importantly, does it do anything nasty like sting?

Not quite sure what it is, possibly a type of May Fly. I've seen them 'chez moi' as well. They shouldn't sting!

Looks like an ichneumon, they are harmless.
