Dobsonflies and Fishflies5 inches long with wings, and maybe pinchers??
We found this on the top of our garage. It’s about 5 inches long, kind of reminds me of a cicada(sp?) but is bigger than those I’ve seen … and looks like it has pinchers of some kind. I didn’t see one on your site and was wondering if you know what it is? I know you’re very busy but if it fits in your schedule, we’d love some help identifying it. Thank you,,

Hi Hilary,
We are very surprised that we haven’t gotten more requests this year for Dobsonflies. June and July are generally our peak months for sightings. Male Dobsonflies have those signature mandibles that make it virtually impossible to confuse this species to any other.
