The Living Forest (194) : Common Scorpionfly (female)

A very photogenic insect to my taste.

The Scorpionfly eats only dead insects, sometimes even stolen out of cobwebs in a very clever way.

Although well winged, these insects rarely fly very far and spend most of their time crawling on vegetation in damp, shaded places of the forest.

Dutch name : Schorpioenvlieg
