The scorpionfly is just as terrifying as you would imagine it might be

I’m not really a fan of flies and while scorpions are cool in theory, they’re a little intimidating close up. So why did God have to go and combine the two in the form of the scorpionfly, a real life ancient chimera that would have destroyed all of mankind before we had a chance to blossom if it weren’t so damn small and squishable.

Scientific Name: There is a lot of different species and genera of scorpion flies, however they all come under the order Mecoptera. The genera which covers the common scorpion flies is Panorpidae.

Where is it found?: All over the world.

Should I Be Worried?: No, the fly and the “stinger” are harmless.

Details: The stinger is actually not a stinger at all but a over sized genitals.They eat dead or dying insects with their powerful jaws. The larvae consume dead insects on the forest floor.

    Don’t worry. It’s not actually a stinger. Just an over sized fly dick.
