Thanks to the info on your site, I know this is one or the other. I found this insect on the outside of my house in the southwest Chicago suburbs. I thought you might like these photos. Great site,

Hi Zach,
This is a female Dobsonfly. You can distinguish her from a Fishfly because of the antennae. The antennae of Fishflies are feathered.
