Help me identify something flying...

Hello dear Experts.

Getting into my car, I saw "something" on the glass... it looked unusual because of its "tail".
Took a couple of photos, from the car and outside.
It became somehow scary to drive the "passenger" by hand =)
Please tell me - who was it?
I am grateful to you in advance.

Your "passenger" was a moth Datanoides fasciata :) A truly unusual creature) Here we have more photos of her https://insecta.pro/taxonomy/21100 Ivan, it is advisable to indicate the location of the shooting. Such a firefly lives only in 6 regions of the Russian Federation.

Many thanks Irina!
In the photos, I did not specifically remove geotags, i.e. the exact coordinates of the shooting location can be viewed by any program showing EXIF. And in words, this is the Far East, the Amur region, Blagoveshchensk, almost the center of the city, residential quarters, although there are a couple of small squares nearby, mixed breeds (coniferous, deciduous, shrub)

It turns out that I often met them as a child, I just never saw them with a "raised tail" =) On the first photo it looks like a scorpion =)
