There are four species of scorpionfly in Sweden and the way to tell them apart is to look at the black spots on the wings. The one with the most spots is this one, the meadow scorpionfly (Panorpa vulgaris).
Why they are called scorpionflies? Have a look at the male (of one of the other three species) here and I'm sure you'll see why: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51423979271/
