WTF? Scorpionflies that Feed on Human Sweat

Great, it looks as if scorpions may have developed wings and will be migrating to a town near you. No not really, in fact it is not even a scorpion, or a stinger at the end of its tail.

It is a common scorpionfly with an upturned scorpion-like genitalia or ‘tail’. They feed on dead or dying insects (including any they might spot in a spider’s web) and are also partial to ripe fruit and, when it’s available, human sweat.

Call it what you like, you can’t convince me that a penis looks like two pinchers.
