Beautiful rendering, Brenda.
This is a female, by virtue of no appendage. The Male has a scorpion-like feature on the posterior end. Use?
As to biting? Not normal, maybe if held.
This looks to be genus Panorpa.
That's all, folks.

Thanks Bill, I understand the male's tail has 2 hooks which are used for holding the female during mating. I was thrilled to find this, I have wanted to see one for ages.
