Common scorpionfly
The common scorpionfly (Panorpa communis) is a species of scorpionfly native to Western Europe. It has a black and yellow body, with a reddish head and tail, and a wingspan of about 35 mm (1.4 in). The male has a pair of claspers at the end of its tail, giving it a scorpion-like appearance, although there is no stinger.Photo credit: Richard Bartz
