Chomp, chomp!
This new study explores the #evolution and mandibular sexual dimorphism of mid-Cretaceous #scorpionflies, offering new insights into feeding habits and mating behavior of early Meropeidae.

From the “Star-Bugs” column on @spektrum: ISTA #JournalistInResidence Sigrid März writes about #scorpionflies and highlights recent findings by ISTA postdoc Clémentine Lasne, who sequenced the insects’ full genome and shed light on the evolution of their sex chromosomes.
Skorpionsfliegen sehen Furcht einflößend aus, sind aber völlig harmlos. Ihre Ernährung und Brautgeschenke sind allerdings gewöhnungsbedürftig. https://t.co/2Dlnj7QqPw
Neopanorpa exaggerata Wang, 2023

N. exaggerata has the longest male abdomen surpassing all the formerly known species in the extant Panorpoidea
🗨️"The appearance of the newly discovered #scorpionflies could hardly be more bizarre"
- Rainer Willmann (@uniGoettingen) about a #NewSpecies described in Contributions to #Entomology: a @Senckenberg journal using our #publishing platform since last year.

New scorpionfly genus discovered by researcher at our Uni. Male insects have a bizarre appearance: at the end of their long abdomen, they have a bulge with grasping pincers resembling a scorpion - yet #scorpionflies are harmless: https://t.co/oVKMnyNqlo; https://t.co/qmSRU4Uuq8
Male Scorpion posing, he was shaking his wings at me turning on one spot, found this info. Panorpid males attract females by vibrating their wings

1/2 A scorching day out in Sandwell CP looking for wee beasties whilst away from the crowds. Highlights incl. Oedemera nobilis, Andrena cineraria, Panorpa sp. and Enallagma cyathigerum #beetles #bees #scorpionflies #damselflies
Is this the end of the order Siphonaptera? https://t.co/ZuGGqsZEqW
One of my favorite factoids about them is the male presents a nuptial gift to a female before mating (often a tasty salivary secretion that’s brown in color). #bugs #panorpidae #scorpionflies #longleafpine (3/3)
Scorpionflies steal a lot of their food from spiders webs, On occasion eating the spiders.
It is not known how #scorpionflies don't become entangled in the silk. One theory is they may have morphological adaptations on their legs to enable them to avoid this. @BritEntSoc
Scorpionflies belong to the order mecoptera, an ancient group of insects that pre-dates flowering plants.
Found in fossil records as long ago as 250 million years. The group contains the ancestors of flies, moths, butterflies and caddisflies.
#Scorpionflies @DipteristsForum
To sooth your timelines today, some #LockdownEnto treats 1) Pair of amorous #Scorpionflies caught in huge mating swarm yest. This lasted >10mins..@BuglifeScotland @jeannerob @IBAHCM 1/3
Male #scorpionflies have tails that resemble scorpion stingers, hence the name. However, they can't sting. Their "stingers" are actually their genitalia! Here's another misnomer: scorpionflies are not actually flies. They are most closely related to fleas!
We saw both male and female #scorpionflies, one of the first groups in which #nuptialgifts were documented. The males#so genitalia looks like the #telson of a scorpion, but it just a harmless mimic.
