I think it's a Cowkiller. Used to see them in my Insect book when I was a kid and think they were really cool (but the "killer" part of the name freaked me out)..
I think (from the whatsthatbug site jodi referenced above) that the "killer" part of the name comes from its nasty sting - which makes you and me very reasonable to be wary of them!
