bellevue.chartreuse.trout 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2016 I'm thinking it's a Dobson fly but I could very well be mistaken. I've seen them quite a bit larger than that one here in Michigan. There's many variations of the Dobson so..... BCT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockworm 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2016 The overall size and comb-like antennae indicates this is not a dobsonfly but probably a fishfly. The veination and colour of the wings suggests it may be a species of Nigronia. These are close relatives of the dobsonfly whose larvae are also aquatic.

The veination and colour of the wings suggests it may be a species of Nigronia. These are close relatives of the dobsonfly whose larvae are also aquatic. Megaloptera: Corydalidae Both dobsonflies and fishflies are in this family. I agree it is a fishfly, subfamily Chauliodinae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
