Scorpion fly - Panorpa aspoeki group (see below)

Turkey

 

The Panorpa aspoeki group (or species group) is predominately found in Turkey. While identification keys for the group are lacking, researchers rely on detailed morpholoigal analysis of the male genital structures and specific features like the caudal recess on the subgenital plate, to differentiate species.

Which means we will never know. !!!!!!
