Dobsonflies and Fishflies

What is it?
Hi Bugman,
I snapped these pictures this morning (Mt. Laurel, NJ). Never saw this one before, and have no idea what it is. Thanks,
Tim

hi Tim,
We fired a quick incorrect response to you that this was a Dobsonfly, when in fact it is a Fishfly. Fishflies have comblike antennae that distinguish them from Dobsonflies that have beaded antennae.
