What is the name of a red-like wasp-looking thing?

Doing a project with my 6 year old, and killed what I thought was a wasp: the body and wings are the same, but it had 2 huge long leg-like things coming out from the front of it's head . It was skinnier and smaller, and it was red. Looks exactly like a wasp... not an ant.

Never have I seen something like this before.

Any Help? Found while In Florida.
