This is Mecoptera, sometimes called scorpionflies after their largest family. According to Wikipedia Scorpionfly is a small insect with membranous wings and slender, elongated bodies. They have long mandibles. Like many other insects, they possess compound eyes on the sides of their heads, and three ocelli on the top. The antennas are filiform and contain multiple segments.
