Common Scorpionfly

Panorpa sp.

Habitat:

fields, wooded areas, often near water

Notes:

Unfortunately it would not stay still long enough, and I could only get this picture. Without a detail pic of its back showing the wings, I don't think it can be IDed to species. (looks like a female though, from what can be seen of the abdomen)
