That's not a Stinger... - _TNY_2225

Finally found my first male scorpion fly (Panorpa communis) after finding several females (like: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/33061271368/).

 

Only the males have that red "stinger" which give that common name - but it isn't a stinger at all. Instead it's used for mating so next time you see one, remember that this is the insect with a big red *beep* on its back.
