What the bug???
I found this guy hanging in the shade. Makes me want to reconsider my affinity for bare-footin! I showed the picture to my dad and he thinks it looks like a gi-mungus termite??? He’s 2+ inches long and bark colored… The closest thing I found on the interned was a "Devil’s Coach Horse? But this guy’s got wings? I’m located in Southeast Pennsylvania. Help? What’s the bug? Thanks,

Hi Jonzy,
If you think your female Dobsonfly is large and impressive, just check out the jaws on the much larger male Dobsonfly we just posted to our site.
