Scorpion Fly in the house - take 2

hi Dave

Couldn't see an option to add an image in a 'reply' so ....

Looked at my other images for a clearer view of the genital capsule. This was the best I had and it does look as though the hypovalves match those of Panorpa cognata. Thanks for the pointer.

  1. Yep, that looks like cognata to me. And no, I don't think you can add images to comments.

  2. I should add that cognata is the least often encountered of the three, at least as far as records submitted are concerned.
