No idea what he was feeding on, although looks like it might be the very shrivelled remains of a sawfly larva!!
Merrington Green - Shropshire
Panorpa communis
Even this year in spring a male Scorpion fly came to visit me in the garden and of course I taken the opportunity to take some photos of it!
Despite its name, it has nothing to do with either the fly or the scorpion, he is a Panorpa sp. of Mecoptera order.
I hope you like it and I thank you for your visits, faves and comments that are always very appreciated!

I pulled down a bowl from the kitchen cabinet and this is what I found.... took his photo and let him go. I've been stung before and it really hurts!
Scorpion Gulch is and old abandoned store/home at South Mountain Park in Phoenix, Arizona. This rock wall building no longer has a roof.
In a world of dragons, mermaids, ghosts, and magic,
Anything can happen.
But there is fire within the scorpion love story.
She waits in patience
Crawls just slightly
Raises her tail with defense
And stings when she is hurt.
One dares not scorch the soul of a scorpion
For one day the prickle shall burn
Where your wound will never heal
Wishing you never poured harm
Toward any of her balanced ways.

Often find these a challenge to approach, but this one decided to land on my hand!!

This is venom oozing out of a Scorpion's (Urodacus hoplurus) aculeus (STINGER!)
A very aggressive scorpion that was constantly lunging its stinger at any movement...
A build up of venom on a scorpion is quite rare to see, only the angriest scorpions will reveal it!
This scorpion is one of the members of the genus Heterometrus, also known by the collective vernacular name Giant Forest Scorpions. The Genus is notable for containing some of the largest living species of scorpions. Thankfully their sting is rather mild and no human fatalities are known to have occurred due to them. Saw this one in the backyard. I used a trowel to lift it off the ground and place it on the wall to get clean shots of it.
Portrait of a small scorpion from Zimbabwe (possibly Uroplectes cf. olivaceus, collection specimen from Mtao forest, S19°22.08' E30°40.38', February 1999).
Studio work with a dry specimen, it was rehydrated and staged. Focus stack, 127 images, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax).

I've been visiting this place known locally as the "Graff Factory" for a couple of years and in all that time, the Street Fighter graff pieces remained intact and untagged. Tonight I found it mostly ruined by a graff "artist" who is nowhere near as good. It won't be long before Scorpion is gone altogether...
Species: 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'.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
Scorpion(Mac Gargan)
You can request any marvel characters in the comments if you want, I will make a purist CCH Verse version of the character as soon as possible
Another capture of a Scorpion fly, front view this time.
There main diet is dead insects, and will steal them from spiders webs.
So yeah, progress. Compared to the previous WIP photo, you can see that I've made changes to the design. There's still a lot of work ahead, but I figured this was a good time to show how the build is looking.
This fearsome looking insect is neither a scorpion nor a fly and is harmless to other insects or humans. The scorpion tail is actually the male genitalia. Seen in Muston, North Yorkshire.
Have always liked them, but do so even more now I've seen one feasting on a harvestman (which I don't like!!). As they're usually scavengers, I assume this one was already dead when the scorpion fly found it!

Found this little critter in our house. It's a Marbled Scorpion (Lychas marmoreus). Only a small species with a total body length including the tail of about 30 mm ; it does pack a punch however. Laguna, New South Wales, Australia

Northern Scorpion, Paruroctonus boreus, in Montana's Pryor Mountains. They're Montana's only scorpion species, and even range up into Canada. This one posed quite nicely - I love how it daintily held its pincers almost but not quite touching.
Scorpion Fly, Hartington Meadows Nature Reserve (Derbyshire Wildlife Trust), Derbyshire Peak District
The female deposits eggs from its rear. The males back end is like a Scorpion tail which is actually its genitalia.
