Scorpion Fly.
Scientific name: Panorpa communis.
The scorpion fly, as its name suggests, has a curved 'tail' that looks like a sting. It is, in fact, the males' claspers for mating. It is yellow and black, with a long 'beak'. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
