Bug Identification help
I was directed to your website from a friend. I was wondering if you could help identify the bug in the photo attached? We found it while hiking in Shades State Park in Southern Indiana last summer. Thank you!

Hi Julie,
We get most Dobsonfly queries during June and July and we try to keep a photo of one on our homepage all summer. This is a male, distinguishable because of the shape of his mandibles.
