I found this sitting on my bird feeder. I could not find him on your site. Can you help? Thanks,

Hi Jolynn,
This fascinating looking insect is a Scorpionfly. Scorpionflies are in the order Mecoptera and we have a page devoted to them. Adults feed on ripe fruit, dead insects and even bird droppings.
