Weird bug on my driveway.

Question

Well my dad and I were sitting on our front porch. He saw this strange bug and when I first looked and it it almost looked like a queen ant but it was alittle to big and too skinny to be one and it had two front legs like praymantis claws. it was so weird. So overall the big was like 1 1/4 cm long and had wings like a fly and a small stick like body with and circle head and those wierd front legs. Oh and we live in Michigan U.S if that helps. Thanks for your answers :]
