It's a so called Mantidfly (Mantispidae) and it's looking like a hybrid between a wesp, hornet and praying mantis!

A Mantidfly even really is a praying mantis and wasp hybrid, a really interesting animal. There are around 400 species of it worldwide and only 5 of them can be found in Europe.

Here you can read about this interesting insect on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantispidae

I even haven't heard about it since yesterday and there are some creepy YouTube videos about it.

Here you can watch some of these videos:
