I don't know much about insects but I have a passive interest in them. I'm not sure what this one is and would like to know. The thing sticking out its rear actually splits into three parts that move around, at first I thought it was a stinger but it doesn't look like it to me. I have other pics that show the front and the separation of the thing on the back if you would like to see them.

Cheers!

P.S. Resizing the image to 560 pixels on the longest side lost a lot of detail for zooming in.
