Panorpa japonica, the common Japanese scorpionfly, is recognized for its translucent wings with two black bands.

It has a sleek, entirely black body and a distinctive curved snout as long as its thorax.

Its long, thread-like black antennae nearly match the length of its body.

[1][2][3] Panorpa japonica has primarily been observed in Japan.

This is confirmed by crowd-sourcing initiatives [4] or data aggregation services.
