Scorpion Fly in the house
Having seen my first ever Scorpion Fly last week, one flew into the kitchen on Saturday ... male this time! Easy to see how they got their name.
Hmm, not easy to see from the angle, but yours looks cognata. The key character is on the genital capsule and illustrated well here: http://thetopshamnaturalist.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/scorpion-flies.html
