Thanks Gordon.. I think you are right!

Hmmm... I meant, I can only see a hint of a beak. I'm pretty sure it is a scorpionfly.

This appears to be a scorpionfly. Hard to tell from this angle as I can't see a beak, but it sure looks like one to me. Take a look at http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/10/15/scorpionfly-from-germany/ and see what you think.
