A small wingless insect with a long beak, crawling on the snow
I went for a xc ski this morning and I was disappointed to not see any insects on the snow. But when I got home, this little snow scorpionfly was waiting at the foot of my stairs! #Boreus #Whitehorse #Yukon #Mecoptera
Staying loyal to insects only (although we do study other arthropods too!), Mecoptera has won this round 👑

My first invertebrate record for 2026...Boreus hyemalis (Snow Flea) at Cali Heath @yorkswildlife.bsky.social reserve this am. Exciting to think what else might turn up this year. 😀 @ynuorg.bsky.social #mecoptera #ukwildlife
🎄 For #InsectAdvent Day 5, meet #Mecoptera 🦂
#WinterFact: ‘#SnowFleas’, a #Mecopteran of the family #Boreidae, aren't actually fleas - The name is often used for a species of #scorpionfly ❄️
#WorldSoilDay: Their presence is an indicator of healthy soil rich in organic matter.
A female Snow Flea posing on a fallen leaf on acid grassland. One of the Mecoptera order, like scorpionflies, but flightless, living down among short, Polytrichum mosses on sandy soil.
My first Snow Flea (Boreus hyemalis) of the winter at Cali Heath @yorkswildlife.bsky.social reserve today. Nice of her to pose out in the open on a fallen leaf, so didn't need to spend hours waiting for one to emerge from the Polytrichum moss! @ynuorg.bsky.social #Mecoptera #Boreidae #ukwildlife

Nahaufnahme einer Deutschen Skorpionsfliege (Panorpa germanica) auf einem dünnen Pflanzenstängel vor unscharfem grünem Hintergrund. Das bernsteinfarbene Insekt zeigt seinen charakteristischen verlängerten Kopf mit den großen dunklen Facettenaugen und den langen Fühlern. Das Tier sitzt mit seinen schlanken Beinen auf einem Grashalm. Die Makroaufnahme betont die filigranen Details der Skorpionsfliege in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung.
Skorpionsfliegen sehen mit ihrem "Pferdegesicht" schon sehr außergewöhnlich aus. Sie gehören weder zu den Skorpionen noch zu den Fliegen, sondern zu den Schnabelfliegen.

Mecoptera or common scorpion fly captured when it was moving about and ignoring me. First time for me to capture this interesting looking fly!

Fotografía de detalle de una mosca escorpión (Panorpa meridionalis)
Buenos días con esta foto de detalle de una mosca escorpión. En este caso una Panorpa meridionalis, que ni es mosca ni mucho menos escorpión. Pertenece al primitivo orden Mecoptera.

A yellow and black scorpionfly sitting on a blue cloth background. It has distinctive black marks on its lacewing-like wings. Its long 'beak is also visible are is the distinctive red scorpion-like claspers at the end of its abdomen.

Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire.
A woman is standing next to a mossy boulder holding a white tray with one hand and raking the moss with her fingers using the other hand. The landscape is springtime in an Alaska coastal rainforest; some snow patches remain and the trees haven't yet leafed out but the moss is very green.
On today's episode of Moss Makeover, a moss-covered boulder gets brushed by an entomologist who decided to take a quick look for Boreus snow scorpionflies during a fishing trip. Sadly she did not find any Boreus but this moss looks really great. #entomology #mecoptera #Alaska 🧪

Below freezing at noon today in East Yorkshire, so a good excuse (like one is needed!) to revisit the Snow Fleas (Boreus hyemalis). ❄️ Photo nicely shows the male's vestigial wings, which he hooks over the female's front legs when mating (she is on top). #Mecoptera #ento #ukwildlife #Boreus

A fresh male Snow Flea (Boreus hyemalis) emerges from moss on lowland heath...it's yellow as its body has not yet taken on the bronze colour of adults.

Snow Fleas! The first Boreus hyemalis of the winter starting to appear on moss-covered, sandy grassland in East Yorkshire. They start out yellow before assuming the shiny bronze of adults. Hopefully we'll get some snow this winter and see them out and about on top. #ento #UKwildlife #Mecoptera
