Description
This insect I saw a few days ago in our garden, I've never seen this kind of scorpion fly before.
So I quickly took many pictures of the beast, that was unfortunately very active,
really not a second he sat still.
It is quite large, about 5 to 6 cm..
I think the Latin name is: Panorpa Nuptialis, and that it's a male.
Okay, I think it looks rather creepy when you look at all the details, which I could do in real,
and it was quite interesting to study.
Oh, here it sits on a leaf of a Fuchsia.
Thank you very much for your look, and I wish you all a lovely weekend. :)
