[Abbotsford, British Columbia] My daughter saw a bug, drew a picture and wants to know what it could be? : whatsthisbug

Apologies for the child's drawing, My daughter (7) saw a bug she hadn't seen before, and wasn't able to catch it and it flew off. Neither I or my wife saw it. We tried google, but no luck, so now I'm here. The information I have been able to glean is:

(1) No hard shell (2) It really was blue with orange legs (3) It had wings (4) Yes, that thing on the end is a big stinger (5) My wife and are guessing it was less than 1 inch or ~2cm (6) no visible eyes

Apologies if this isn't enough information. I thought I'd post here to see what others might know.

MrRourke is amazing. I needed help identifying a beatle that was in my house and he got it right away with a fact sheet and example picture. I was very impressed.

it being blue and orange narrows it down significantly
