Panorpa

Panorpa

Panorpa, also known as scorpionflies, are fascinating insects with long bodies and unique wings. They often look like they have a scorpion's tail, but they're harmless and love to fly around in gardens and forests.

生息地: Forests

外見

The Panorpa is a slender insect with four clear, membranous wings often mottled with dark spots. Males uniquely possess an enlarged, reddish genital segment curved upwards like a scorpion's tail, though it's harmless. They have a distinctive, downward-pointing rostrum, making their head appear elongated.
