Found this weird insect in the shed, never seen anything like it.

The body part is obvious but the long bit perpendicular to the body is a pair of wings which open up when it wants to fly, which it did a few seconds after taking this photo

Serendipity! I'd seen them occasionally but had no idea what they were until last week when my son came home with a project about them.
