Difficult (mostly impossible) angle for ID - due to the red head I'm assuming cognata here ... Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks so much Arp for the corrections, identifications for this genus were quite a mess. Posted 7 years ago

    Not worse than anywhere else - they're not easy :o)
    There are still some that I need to reconsider - especially quite a few that now carry a name, but of which I would say that the single images are unidentifiable ... Mat need to contact the authors if they have more viewing angles and/or decide to just take the ID out and mark them as Panorpa sp. somehow. Posted 7 years ago

The Panorpa cognata

"Panorpa cognata" is a species of scorpionfly found across the United Kingdom, western Europe and into Russia. These slender, small insects have a forewing length ranging between 10 to 15mm, and are orange-brown in colour, sometimes with black colouration along the posterior margin, the base of the antennae, sometimes the pronotum.
