Panorpa speciosa

Panorpa speciosa is a species of scorpionfly in the family Panorpidae, found in North America. As a member of the order Mecoptera, it shares the characteristic elongated rostrum and, in males, the recurved genital segment that gives scorpionflies their common name. The species was described by Carpenter in 1931. Like other Panorpa species, it inhabits moist woodland environments where it likely feeds on dead or dying soft-bodied insects.
