Yikes! It's a Dobson's Fly
Post a comment (login required)
Did you see the bug Anthony Goodhue found late last week and was hosting (on a bush) over the weekend outside the Walpole Market? If you check today, it may still be there. Anthony figured out that it was a Dobson's Fly, a 3-4" inch long flyng insect with inch long pincers! I attach below the best picture I could find on the 'Web. CCB
 This is a Dobson's Fly. It's about 8-9 inches long and two mandibles that can rip you open! This was found along the banks of the St. Croix River and was amazed how big this fly is! Can you imagine slapping your hand at these guys on a warm night?
