Panorpa consuetudinis
common scorpionfly
Panorpa consuetudinis is a species of common scorpionfly in the family Panorpidae, first described by Snodgrass in 1927. Like other scorpionflies, it belongs to the order Mecoptera, a small group of insects characterized by elongated faces and, in males, genital claspers that curve upward like a scorpion's stinger. The species is found in North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented in the available literature.
