Panorpa communis, female.
"Description. Wingspan approx 35 mm. The scorpion-like tail is only seen in the male and is in fact its genitalia - and doesn't sting! There are three Panorpa species in Britain and all require close examination with a microscope or good hand lens to distinguish them. In males this involves looking at the ventral surface of the genital capsule and in females the ovipositor. A good close up photo of the male is often enough to see the hypovalves on top of the genital capsule.
"Similar Species. P. germanica has thickened parallel hypovalves on male genital capsule, which are calliper shaped in P. communis.
"Identification difficulty. Requires detailed examination to identify and/or scarce.
"Recording advice. Females need to be examined with a microscope. Males can be identified from a good view of the hypovalves on the genital capsule.
"Habitat. Hedgerows, Nettle beds and well wooded areas.
"When to see it. May to September.
"Life History. They feed mostly on dead insects, which they frequently steal from the webs of spiders. Mating usually occurs at night. It can be a dangerous time for the male, if he is not careful the female might decide to kill him! To avoid this he presents her with a gift of a drop of saliva which, it seems, in the world of scorpion flies, is the equivalent of a bunch of roses or a box of chocolates.
"UK Status. This is the most common and widespread Scorpion fly in Britain, but with few records from northern Scotland."
Panorpa nuptialis, a male. Zilker Botanical Garden, Austin. Male scorpion flies have scorpion-like tails. Neither flies nor scorpions, they belong to Mecoptera, an order of insects which dates back to the Permian. They have long, tube-like snouts with tiny jaws at the end. They feed on algae and detritus. Common here in the fall. They don't sting and are not in any way dangerous.

Les Scorpions — Scorpiones est leur nom scientifique — sont un ordre parmi l'embranchement des Arthropodes de la classe des Arachnides. Ils se distinguent des autres Arachnides par leurs pédipalpes développés en pinces et par l'aiguillon venimeux qu'ils portent au bout de leur abdomen.
Les scorpions sont dotés d'un dard lisse appelé telson, composé de diverses parties, telles que des vésicules à venin et un aiguillon.
Les scorpions sont capables de piquer de manières différentes. Une piqûre sèche, sans venin, peut servir d’avertissement à un prédateur potentiel. Une autre qui délivre du prévenin, une substance plus douce que le venin proprement dit, peut paralyser les insectes et blesser de plus gros nuisibles.
Lorsqu'il est confronté à des prédateurs ou à des proies plus tenaces et de plus grande envergure, le scorpion inocule un véritable venin, un mélange de nombreuses toxines puissantes et souvent létales.

Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know and do not go unnoticed
I needed to get out yesterday but could not venture too far so I decided to check out a reserve not far from where I reside.
This is the first time that I have done such a detailed image of a Scorpion.
This little one has 6 eyes. I have been told they can sometimes have 12!
I had to rest 3 times while getting this stack to allow the buffer to clear. I want to get some faster SD cards. Glad holding my breathe and trying not to fart helped, The stack worked!!

Scorpion Fly - male
(Panorpa communis)
This slim insect, about 20mm long with a 30mm wingspan.
These all belong to the order, Insecta: Mecoptera: Panorpidae.
The male (upper image) is characterised by the way in which the last segments of the abdomen, the reddish brown clasping organs like minature earwig pincers, are reflexed up and forward - scorpion like.

Phacelia Tanacetfolia, more commonly known as The Scorpion Flower is often grown by farmers as part of a "Set Aside" scheme that encourages field borders to be left uncropped for the promotion of birds, insects and other wildlife. This shot was taken of a flower growing in a highly colourful field margin (see photo first comment box below) near Carrington in Lincolnshire.
Phacelia grows to about 2 feet tall (@60cm) and is one of the best flowers you can grow to attract bees to your garden abd also attracts heaps of hoverflies which will eat up all the pesky aphids. It is a very informal plant and is best suited to a cottage garden style.
Phacelia also makes a great cut flower but if you decide not to cut it…you can dig it back into the soil at the end of the season and it will add nitrogen to it.
Goodwin Project coming on nicely now. The original 1500points is only 1 unit away...

Khao Yai National Parc, Thailand.
On this picture, our guide is getting the scorpion to sleep, before placing it on my arm. Quite an experience!
The scorpion then woke up and walked back to its hole.
A difficult shot to get as the exhibit is small and very dark. You can press a button (see signage photo below) to illuminate with UV light.
Who remembers these Scorpions?
Never knew Missouri had scorpions. Well, it turns out they do. 1X magnification. Not the most photogenic type critter, but still cool. Pulaski County Missouri.

Amazon Anne knew she'd seen Scorpions, but they disappeared and no one believed her! Just a little humour to lighten things up 😄
Sheerness, Kent, 2nd July 2016. A large population of these scorpions live at Sheerness Docks, mostly within the private dock area but some venture outside.

Folded from CP in Young Origami Creators Seminar Research Note Vol. 2. (As of a month ago you could still get copies of YOCS Vol 2 by contacting Gallery Origamihouse. It's not listed on their website. They didn't have many copies left, so I don't know if they have any left now.)

I made the red stone the scorpion is standing on from plaster then painted it.
