la Mouche Scorpion mâle n'est pas une mouche mais bien un Mécoptère.
L'abdomen du mâle est recourbé vers l'avant, faisant penser à une pince de scorpion. La caractéristique principale des Panorpes est l'étirement de la tête vers le bas, en forme de bec vigoureux. Les pièces buccales se situent au bout de ce bec. (Bruxelles).
The common scorpionfly has a black and yellow body, with a reddish head and tail. In the male has a pair of claspers at the end of its tail (for holding the female during mating), giving it a scorpion-like appearance, although there is no stinger.
