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
German name : Gemeine Skorpionsfliege
Latin name : Panorpa communis
