Scorpion Fly at Moor Copse reserve

Quite intriguing flies, have a strange beauty.:)

Ooh, nice - I agree, it's weird but in a nice way. I's also one of Billy's unidentified... I suppose it's now identified :)

Certainly is.:)

An excellent photo, Rolf - but for 'strange beauty' I'd say 'scary ugliness'!:D

LOL, it's all relative, one man's meat. . . . . . .

.. and I bet the insect talks highly of you too, Catherine ;)
