Ichneumonidae, otherwise known as parasitic wasps, are one of the larger insect families. The females have a large ovipositor (egg laying tube) which looks like a sting, but they do not sting. They may make 'stinging' movements if handled.
In those Hymenoptera that do sting, (wasps, honey bees, bumble bees, etc) the sting is a modified ovipositor so it is only the females that can sting.
