This is Corydalus cornutus — the Eastern dobsonfly
And it looks like it crawled out of mythology
Those massive mandibles? They’re not weapons
At least, not against prey
Males use them in courtship and combat, grappling with rivals like antlered beetles in midair
But it’s not the adult you should fear
It’s what it was before
The larval form, known as a hellgrammite, lives underwater for years
It bites hard
It breathes through gills
And it devours anything it can overpower — from insects to small fish
Then, one day, it climbs out
Sheds its skin
Unfolds wings the size of your palm
And becomes this
It only lives a few days after that
Just long enough to mate
Just long enough to haunt your nightmares

They make great fish bait too. You can find the hellgrammites in about any creek around here. The Dobsonflys disappear pretty fast when they come out.
I was thinking about that...... NO! Just **** kill it with fire!!!!

An interesting look behind the scenes of the guy that provides all the cars for some shows and/or movies.

Thought to be a mythological creature, the 'Giant Woolly Rat' was just photographed for the first time ever
The proud discoverer František Vejmělka with the Giant Woolly Rat (Mallomys istapantap ) in its natural habitat at 3,700 meters above sea level.

Not known to science for 30yrs…but needs “saving”. I wonder how many they killed to get their stomach samples. Jackasses. I hate people.
Maybe they just stuck their finger down the rat's throats.

Hellgramites are part of my Introduction to Stream Biology course for my grandkids. Also known as fishing.
