Scorpion Fly - Mecoptera sp.

Date Photographed: 03/06/2012
Location: The Avenue, Claverton

Notes: While there are only three species of Scorpion fly in the UK, they are difficult to distinguish without inspection of the genitalia. Even if my hand lens was powerful enough, I doubt I'd have taken up the challenge!
