Scorpion Fly(male)

Description:

Scorpion fly, resting on a green leaf. Notice the scorpion stinger-like reproductive organ, meaning this is a male and also why these species got their general name.

Habitat:

Dirt road through ancient leaf forest.

Notes:

When I search google for the right ID for a species i often come across species scientific names that does not correlate with the patterns on wings and body shape, color or form, I have no idea if this is Panorpa germanica or Panorpa vulgaris or the other closely related species.
