What kind of insect is this? -- scorpionfly? --> Panorpa orientalis


Can anybody tell me that is this insect?
Gonju, South Korea

[Added later] maybe a scorpionfly, Panorpa cornigera (order Mecoptera, family Panorpidae). Korean name: 밑들이

This species definitely is not Panorpa cornigera.
That is a very nice photo of a male scorpionfly related to Panorpa orientalis. You have two species of the group in Korea.

Panorpidae
